I rubbed a 5lb butt with Jeff's rub and I'm going to rotisserie it.

Interesting idea. How far are you going to take it? Will "pulled pork" tenderness be an issue on the rotisserie as there is some gravity effects as the meat turns?
 
Spun it for 3 hrs, added charcoal at the 1.5 hr point. IT was at 200 when I took it off the grill. Now gonna rest until it's pullable.

I am not sure what to expect Dave. It smells awesome and looks great! I'll post a pic when I tear into it.

I could have built a competition box...I had some pulled, some sliced and some chunks. Great bark, and the outer meat pulled. The inner muscles didn't pull, but they sliced into nice medalians. The rest was chopped into chunks. All tastes delicious!

3 hours for a 5lb butt - holy cow that has to be a record. Nice Job all looks good from my screen.

Point for sure.

Looking good Mike.
Thanks Chile! I appreciate it.

That looks great. Wow, that is a quick cook. Great idea.
Thanks Jeff! It was different. I'm not sure of the cut of pork, it was labeled as a shoulder butt roast, I think it was a picnic ham or something. The bone was not like a shoulder blade.

Mike that looks great what did you use to check the IT ?

I used a Thermapen and it probed 200-202 in 4 different places. I didn't wrap and rest for an hour like I do butts.
