Pork Butt for New Years Day
Comments
-
Wrap whole in a couple of layers of heavy duty foil. Place a towel or two in the bottom of a small cooler, Wrap the butt in a towel..place in the cooler with a towel or two on top of it. It will still be ready to pull a couple of hours later.
Personally, I would wait to pull. I think its best served as soon as it is pulled.

+1 on bluegrasstiger's plan-just cook like you plan and then use the transport as the "rest time". Will turn out great-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I had to do the same thing this summer. The butt was done the wife wasn't home yet and a 2 hour drive. it ended up being 5-1/2 hours wrapped in foil and 2 bath towels in a cooler. the pork was still hot, to hot to pull with bare hands. I was surprised it was hot and moist.

Any recommendations for a good BBQ sauce recipe to go with the pork

Now you are starting a whole new argument. It really depends on what you like on pulled pork.
I personally like both a thin vinegar sauce (aka eastern NC sauce) from Steven Raichlen's BBQ Bible:

and a mustard based South Carolina sauce:

The vinegar sauce is spicier and the mustard one is sweeter. I usually make both and let my guests decide. The mustard one is easily served in a squeeze bottle just like pictured in the link. The vinegar one needs a wider mouth dispenser, but one that can be shaken or stirred, as the red pepper flakes get caught in the standard squeeze bottle.
The BBQ Bible recipe was the first one I followed when I made my first pulled pork and if you follow it to a T, you won't be disappointed. It changed my perception of what was possible on a grill and opened my eyes to low and slow. That's not to say it's the only way, it's just a classic example.
Don't forget the slaw...and that's yet another argument.

Just make sure everyone tries some without sauce first...it's so good off of the BGE that folks will love it without sauce. Choice is good though...some like it with sauce.
