Pork butt for pulling

[leech~~]

All this pulling on Pork sounds like a lot of work, why not just go and buy it pulled already?

Yeah, I plan on doing another midnight smoke starting tonight like I did back in October for my son's b-day party.  If it cooks too slow, it gives me plenty of time to get good smoke on it and finish in the oven.  OR I may just start it early tomorrow morning, pull them out at noon and stick them in the oven on low for the rest of the day.  We'll see, I'd like get a good night's sleep tonight since I'm sure the festivities will go late into the night and into the wee morning hours of 1/1.

I think the best thing I ever smoked was a big beef roast.  I put it on when I got home around 11pm and never did squat to it until I opened the smoker and took it out.  Put it in the cooler and had stuff to do and never thought about it til I got home.  It was almost like cheating and that's why it seemed so good.

Were you able to slice it? Or did you pull it?

[leechlake]

pull.  I don't like it sliced.

I had a temp probe on it

I just looked for it on the google and didn't find it. There's a picture of an old cow gnawing on a corn cob, and the caption was ' the origin of corned beef' or something like that.

And somehow I ran across this........

how come dogs spin around and around before they lay down?  I watched my lab last night.  She maybe did ten spins before she felt it was just right.  She scratched the ground first too.  I think she thinks she's a mallard.

The one I did a few days ago, after being 205, was wrapped in foil in an insulated bag in a room temp cooler, was still very hot to the touch after 4 hours in the cooler. 

Good point LBBG about how hot the meat remains. Has anyone ever temp checked the meat after a long cooler sit? I wonder where the internal temperature goes.....probably still within a few degrees of target would be my guess.

Same reason you fluff your pillow.

I thought about checking it before I pulled it, then thought "what's the point?"

Next time I do another pork butt, I'll check the temp from time to time after it's in the cooler.
