Title: Pulled Pork on the 2 Star
Post by: KJRsmoker on March 26, 2017, 11:19:16 PM

Smoked 4 pork butts from Costco on my 2 Star today.  Tried a new method that I read somewhere (could have been here).  Cooked at 225 F for 3 hours, raised temp to 325 F until internal temp of 165 F.  Double foiled then cooked until internal temp of 195 F.  FTC for 3 hours then pulled and vacuum sealed.  Took about 8 hours total on smoker (some finished before others).  Usually I would cook on 225 F until IT of 165 F then foil and continue to cook at 225 F until internal temp of 195 F.  That would take anywhere from 11 to 16 hours.  This new method was much faster and I didn't notice any difference in taste or tenderness.  This new method will be my new way of cooking the butts.

Fantastic cook!!!!! I must confess though, I've tried the method you used, I and I find that I prefer the low n slow method. Both turn out a really good end product. But for my tastes, I prefer 210-225 for as long as it takes. Sometime up to 20-22 hours. Plus the smoke wafting though my backyard is kinda like aroma therapy for me... :)

Looks good!  But all those leftovers are gonna make it hard to come up with an excuse to go smoke something else.  ;)

it looks great - fantastic cook - now my mouth is watering for pulled pork. 

I like to do the small packages of vac sealed for the freezer too - I make them about a pound each - just right for the bride and I for a quick meal.  I also find it works well to just throw the vac packs in a pot of boiling water to heat them up.
