Boston Butt and Pulled Pork Questions

bbqman

My wife has to work tomorrow and the rest of the family isn't comming over until dinner (mustard rubbed steaks) so I decided to spend the 4th of July with my dog, my BGE, Mr. Sam Adams (and probably a several of his friends) and a Boston Butt.[p]For great pulled pork I have heard that you want to cook until the internal temperature reads 195-200. [p]What temperature do you recommend to cook the Butt at and more importantly, what kind of wood would you use to smoke it?[p]The Butt weighs in at just under 5lbs -- Sam Adams approx 12 fl oz per bottle. I have rubbed with mustard and covered in JJ's Rub.[p]Any help would be greatly appreciated.[p]Also, how long can I expect the cook to take at the various temperatures.

bbqman,
Sam Adams is good.
195-200* internal is good.
225-250* dome temp is good.
Any wood you like is good.
I like mesquite, personal preference.
At the above temps figure about 12 hrs or so.
Beer it's not just for breakfest anymore.
Need more I will be here.

And that usually you can't go wrong with JJ's advice.....rephrase that....I have never gone wrong by following his advice.[p]And enjoy the cook. More fun than you could ever imagine.[p]Happy 4th

bbqman,[p] Just last week, with J.J's help, I done a small 3-1/2 pork
sholder. I stayed on the egg for 10 hrs & turned out super.
I was ready for diner at six but had to wait untill just
short of 9:pm. Well worth the wait.[p] Earl

JJ,
Still workin hard...but now that I think about it, aint be no reason I can't crack me one of those cold ones I got in the fridge! [p]I think I will finally take a break and do butterflied whole chicken tomorrow. Cat has been sayin it is her favorite way to do a bird, so I fingered I would give it a try! 270 direct and stylin and smylin. Enjoy your multi-egg smoke out JJ.
Cheers (now with a cold one in hand)
