    Has anyone tried these and ones from a butt?  If so, willing to share any feedback?


    I have done them a couple times with a pork butt and they have come out great each time.  We like it better now then pulled pork.  

    I take the pork butt to about 165-170, pull and let rest for about 20 minutes wrapped in foil.  Cube up, place in foil pans or one big one, add sauce of choice and put them back on on for a couple more hours and stir them a couple times or so while cooking.  I didn't really worry about the temp.  I usually just kept the temp the same as what I was cooking at say 250 to 275.  Hoping to try pork belly soon.

    These look simply amazing! Time to go find some bellies. I need to do another batch of bacon anyway. Thanks for sharing.

    Was the skin still on the belly when you started the cook?

    No skin on for this application.  Just scored the fat layer to get some rendering in the early stages.  Haven't tried with shoulder yet but many have said it turns out great.  I think the extra fat in the belly makes for a richer, juicier bite....and for a spike in your cholesterol  :o
