Can you prepare pulled pork with a pork shoulder butt or does it have to be a boston butt? Just took my first piece off the egg and does not seem to have worked. PLEASE HELP!

    struggling eggerq, a pork shulder butt and a boston butt are the same thing -- top of shoulder is the boston butt and bottom is a picnic ham. If you get it done, which is normally about 200 degrees internal, where you can twist on the bone and it will come out clean, that is how pulled pork is cooked. Good luck.

    <p />struggling eggerq,
    Please give more details. The pork shoulder may include the pork butt and the picnic butt. I think that whole shoulder would be too big to fix on the egg. Pork butt is usually sold in what looks like a square piece of pork with a bone in it. It weighs about 7/8 lbs. it needs to be cooked at 225/235 for 16/18 hours to an internal temp of 190/200. Maybe this picture will help. Good luck, Tom

    BajaTom, your post could possibly be read to say seven-eights of a pound. I know you mean 7 or 8 pounds.

    struggling eggerq,
    picnic shoulders and boston butts are two parts that make up the pork shoulder.[p]both will give you pulled pork if you cook them around 250 for about 2 hours per pound.[p]

    what's with the drip pan, is it sitting on the coals, or wired to the grill? So far all I've done is steaks and sasauge and burgers on mine. Looking to try my hand at low and slow.

    Thanks
