I've been thinking about making some pulled pork in the egg sometime for use in tacos and fajitas. How would a slow,
250° cook with no smokewoods turn out? Would the meat take on that lump charcoal flavor?

    I would do it as carnitas instead, that's just me.

    Neutral lump won't impart flavor with a butt.

    Why wouldn't you throw some wood on the fire anyway?  I use leftover pulled pork for tacos, nachos, pizza, enchiladas.  The smoke adds to it.  Trust me, you want the smoke.

    If you're worried about it being overpowering use a fruit wood like cherry or apple.
