We had Emy's second birthday party this last weekend. Since it was the summer, I, of course had to smoke something and have "real" bbq for her party. I woke up at 4:30 am and had the two pork butts in the smoke at 5:15 am. My ultimate goal was to keep them on for a full 12 hours and be able to pull that bone out of the meat with nary a bit of it stuck. I came close to fulfilling my goal and this was by far the best pork butt that I have ever done. I had the two butts on for 11 hours and let them rest for 45 minutes. I grabbed the bone and it slid right out!! This happened on both of the butts. There was no problem in pulling the pork either. It just fell apart. The pork was so tender there was definitely no need for the toothpicks. Two types of sauce, mustard and tomato based. The only thing I would do differently is to keep the smoke going a little longer before I stop adding the wood chips.
This definitely has me jacked up to do some ribs. And soon!
