Question about Pork Butts for Easter Weekend

I was going to cook a bone in pork butt and Saturday to pulled pork temp, but now I am also doing a boneless pork butt too to sluced temp on Sunday. The question is should I do them both on Saturday or do two separate cooks. It may rain on Sunday, but want it to come right of the egg on both days. What are your thoughts?

I'd start them both Saturday and go overnight. You can always FTC until its time to eat. Just my .02.Large - Mini - Blackstone 17", 28", 36"

You get more supervisory adult beverage time with two separate cooks... >-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 guess I also get out of honey does for a while too. I think i will do two cooks. Next question, anyone used apple cider for injecting pork? We have some really good Honey Crisp cider out right now I was going to use and mix in some rib with it.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

@Ladeback69
In my opinion there is nothing wrong or taboo about injecting certain cuts or sizes of meat. There are circumstances where it's your only hope of producing a superior product but that's a story for another thread. If you like the taste of the cider then by all means inject brother. good luck my friend .Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
my only problem with injecting any liquid into a butt is from my experience it makes the stall longer so if you inject keep that in mind and allow for a longer stall time2 Large Eggs and a Mini 2 Pit Bulls and a Pork shoulder or butt nearby and 100% SICILIANLong Island N.Y.

Slicing temp is lower than pulling temp. If you cook them together, take the butt you plan on slicing out first. I'm guessing at the slicing temp at 180 or so. I always cook my butt at 200-205 for pulling.Flint, Michigan
