Pulled Pork

[nolan]

I buy meat at Sams.  Pork shoulders come in 2-packs and on average weigh 18lbs (for both).

• I wash and dry the meat.
• I coat the entire outside with Cavender's Greek Meat Seasoning.  I use this on pretty much every meat that I dry rub (ribs, brisket, & shoulders).
• I wrap butts tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.  I omit this step if I'm in a hurry and go straight to the smoker.
• I preheat smoker to 250.  The temp drops when you add the meat.  I try to maintain 220 to 230 while smoking/cooking.
• I smoke with pecan for about 6 to 8 hours, depending on size of shoulders.
• I use apple juice in the water bowl and need to remove pucks and add juice at the 3 to 4 hour mark and again at the 6 to 8 hour mark.  I also spray the shoulders with apple juice (quickly) while the door is open
• At the 8 to 10 hour mark, I flip / flop the two shoulders (top to bottom, bottom to top)
• I remove them when they reach an internal temp of 190, then I wrap in foil, towel, and drop in cooler.  I let sit at least an hour.  Sometimes longer if I'm ready before super time;-)
• On average, the bottom roast is ready in about 18 hours, I remover it and move the top one down to the bottom.  The last one usually takes another couple hours (20 to 22 total).  FTC when done for 30 minutes to an hour.
• I pull / chop and put in foil pan or crock pot, spray with apple juice, and put out to eat or carry to party

Nice, simple instructions to a perfect butt Nolan ;)

I love that Cavendar's seasoning too. It is excellent on Tri-tip.
