I am planning on doing my first but Sunday night to have ready for Labor Day. At my local butcher shoppe they have pork butts for $3.19/lb and they are around 6 lbs each. I was hoping for something a little bigger.
At the grocery store they have pork shoulders at around 9 lbs for $12-13. So I am thinking about going with one of them.
I was wondering if there is a big difference between the two. I am planning on pulling it.
Also what is the idea temperature to pull the meat at? I was going to take it to 200 in the smoker and then rest it in a cooler with towels. At what temp should I take it out to pull?
Thanks for all the help,
Brian
