Boston Butt beta-2. Tweeking for the summer crowds.

[DemoTex]

I cooked this one a bit slower (250-degrees for seven hours) with less hardwood (hickory) and more lump charcoal. It was a 4# butt and took seven hours to reach an internal temperature of 175-degrees.

I let it cool for about 45 minutes, then pulled the pork. It was cooked perfectly for pulling. I then dined on a small portion with a Carolina Red BBQ sauce and a Vaunted Vinegar BBQ sauce (I'll supply recipes to those who want them). Also had corn-on-the-cob that was slathered in olive oil and cooked with the pork for the last hour, and canned "Glory" collard greens. Of course, hot cornbread with butter accompanied the meal.

2. I tend to cook a marinated Boston Butt at 200

for about 3 hours, but I cut it into slabs the size of a deck of cards and slow braise it in the marinade/sauce. It breaks apart with a spoon at that point, it's so tender.
