cook it low and slow on an outdoor grill or in a slow cooker 4-8 hours until done. Time will depend on size of meat, and method used. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Pork is ready for slicing at 160-170 degrees, but if you let it get to 195-200 degrees the fat will melt and the meat will be tender and ready to “pull.”
Let the meat rest for 30 minutes loosely covered with foil.
Pull” or shred pork while it is still warm and place it in a baking pan in oven on 200 degrees, covered or in a crock pot on low and blanket with your favorite BBQ sauce and cover to keep warm until serving if desired
Notes
Whenever we cook a Boston Butt we cook a big one so we will have plenty of leftovers for sandwiches and recipes like this one
