Pulled pork.

I am doing my first pork butt tomorrow, 7lb.  I have done brisket a couple of times and always prepared the meat the night before. Should I do the same with the pork?

I have tried it both ways,  CYM and rub the night before and CYM and rub just before I put it in the cooker.  Either way works well IMHO

Thank you, I will give that a try!

There's no right or wrong concerning when to do the rubbing.  A pork but is a thick, dense cut and absorbs very little except on the surface.  Like TMB I've done the rubbing at various times with little difference.

Agree with Hub.  Little difference to me in when I rub.  I normally do it the night before just to save me some steps while getting ready for the cook.

Here goes nothing, wish me luck.

Are ya gonna foil it when you hit the stall or gonna take er all the way through to pulling temps?

[Jaaleb]

Foiled it at 150. Pulled at 192. Resting now, giving it about an hour.
