Pulled Pork
- 1 (5 to 7-pound) Boston pork butt, bone in
- 3/4 cup seasoning rub (recommended: Butch's Smack Your Lips Magic Dust)
- Preheat the oven or smoker to 225 degrees F.
- Score the fat cap of the butt, cutting through the fat only and not into the meat.
- Rub liberally with the seasoning rub.
- Cook the meat about 8 to 10 hours or until the internal temperature, using an instant-read thermometer, reaches 165 degrees F for slicing or 175 degrees F for pulling.
- If you wish to use the meat later, wrap the butt in double foil to retain the juices and refrigerate or freeze.
- If you are using the meat immediately, remove the bone by twisting it, it should easily come out.
- Then slice it or use 2 forks to shred the meat apart.
- To serve, use a 4-ounce portion of meat on a bun and top with BBQ sauce.
- For North Carolina style add 2 tablespoons of coleslaw.
- Savor and enjoy!
