Had a Boston Butt that needed to be cooked. Tried something different. Sliced instead of pulled.

Cooked it at 325-350 for 4 hours until internal hit around 165. Wrapped in foil for about 45 mintutes then sliced it as an him as I could. Came out great. Great flavor and it was very moist. Not tough at all.

    Looks great. My advice is cook till 180-185. Will still slice but will be more tender.

    I use this method for Cuban style pork roast.  Marinade it overnight in Goya mojo criollo marinade and take it to 175 with no wood and basting with the Goya.  When the family wants a break from pulled smoked pork this is always their favorite

    That looks EXCELLENT!! Never tried a sliced butt, but between yours and @Webass' mojo criollo suggestion, I think it'll happen soon!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    The flavor was great. Used Mikey's coffee rub on the outside and it still sucked in all that great smoke flavor. I have a pecan tree in my yard so I just grabbed a few dead twigs on the ground and threw that in the coals too. Great to make sandwiches the next day. Can eat it like cold cuts or heat it up.
