any help regarding time and temp is appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Butt or Loin?

he said it was a pork butt.

Better check with him. I'll bet it is a loin. Most butts run about 7 pounds and I can't imagine stuffing a butt.

If it is a loin, cook to 140 degrees in the thickest part.

i checked with him! perhaps i should consult the actual pig!

is this something to do "low and slow"? like 250 degrees or so?

i triple checked with him and it's a stuffed boston butt.

Who stuffed it and with what.

Boston Butts need to be done low and slow to render all the fat and collagen out of them. I have never heard of stuffing one.

Port loin yes.. Pork Butt no..

Can you get him to send you a picture of this??

It will be fine and you will have the best taste stuffing you can get. I usually slice the butt into 1 inch thick steaks and then cook it lasagna style. A layer of pork steak [It is now steak since you sliced it before it cooked] then the stuffing of choice. I usually just make a bread stuffing. Then top it off with another layer of pork steak.

I would cook it about 2.5 hours covered in foil indirect at 350 and 30 minutes uncovered. You can get carried away and make some Cream of Mushroom soup to use as a gravy and pour over as it cooks.

they call it a "stuffed pork roast".

Stuffed pork roast is NOT a pork butt. Pork Roast or Pork Loin Roast is the section between the pork butt and pork loin.

Since it is stuffed it should be brought to 165 just to make sure the stuffing is fully cooked.

5 pounds at 20 minutes a pound you are looking at 2 hours of so at 350 dome.
