Hal and I wandered around the Whole Foods (or 'Whole Paycheck' as Caney calls it) in St Louis.  Deli roast beef - $14/lb!


I don't think you'll find a Sams Club or Costco opening on Manhattan island anytime soon...   Carry a cryopac of butts on the subway, and you'll get some looks for sure.

Let us know how it goes!

I like this rub and recipe:

http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showthread.php?86-Pulled-Pork-and-Sauce&p=99#post99

I take mine out of the smoker at 195-200F IT.

FTC for an hour or so, then pull.

If you think it needs sauce, I like this one:

Vaunted Vinegar Sauce Ingredients:

   * 1 cup Cider Vinegar
   * 1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
   * 1 tsp. Kosher Salt
   * 1/2 tsp. Black pepper, fresh cracked
   * 1/2 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

Directions:

  1. Place all ingredients in a small sauce pan.
  2. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Let cool, and season pork to taste.

Really though, pork butt is probably the most forgiving piece of meat you will put in your smoker.

Ditto what FLBR said.

Next time look around Chinatown, and then there's a reportedly good Italian butcher specializing in pork called Faicco Pork Store.
