Memphis meets Lexington Pulled Pork
I followed this technique for trimming the Butt.
I used a Memphis style dry rub on it the night before with soy sauce as a binder for the rub.

I used a Lexington style sauce to mop it three times every, but stoped mopping because I wasn’t happy with how the bark was forming. After the third mop, I didn’t open the Egg until it hit 170*. I was in the stall at 160* foot a good 1 1/2 hours. I panned it at 170* to catch the drippings.

I loaded the Egg with fresh lump and mixed in pecan chunks, apple and hickory chips.
I lit it at 5am and got it steady at 285* to 300* and loaded the Butt at 6am.
It probed like butter in 3 of the 5 places I checked so I pulled it for 30 minutes rest. It ran for 12 hours but it could have went a little longer. Was kind of a tough pull. I sliced the money muscle, shredded the middle section, and chunked the end by the bone.

That was my attempt at low calorie KFC style coleslaw. Turned out very purple. Bagged coleslaw mix, chopped in the food processor, but I took it too far and became minced.EggNorth said:Great looking pulled pork .
