While I've promised myself to do a full Boston Butt before Indian summer is over, I want to try some homemade sauce recipes, and I think pulled pork would be ideal for them. I've read that so-called country ribs are actually cut from the butt. Does any one know if the are big enough/ fat enough to not dry out with a low but not to slow? Say 5 hours indirect for a couple pounds?[p]gdenby

    gdenby,[p]"Country Style Ribs" can be from one of several cuts of pork. Typically I've seen them made from sliced pork loin (with or without bone attached)and sliced pork butt. The sliced pork butt is fattier and does better with a longer cook. The pork loin "ribs" are a lot leaner and dry out faster. The sliced pork butt pieces will cook a lot faster than a butt roast and will be done in an hour or so at 350.
