Had a day off & decided I wouldn't turkey hunt or fish with the cold & wind. So, I sat around the house & watched the Smoker all day. Just had some chips with sammiches, kept it simple.

Top pic is Boston Butt before I shredded it. I smoked it on Smoker at 225 degrees for 8 hrs. I took it to an internal temp. of 200 degrees. I let it rest for 30 mins., then shredded & made sammiches.
 
how long you reckon it would take in an oven or over hot coals from a fire pit? As long as it has a 200 degree internal temp all is well?

Where you get some butt? The grocery store? How did you shred it?

Thanks for any and all info!!
 
You could cook it in oven, it won't have smoke flavor though.

Yes, you get Boston Butt at grocery store. Pork section.

I shredded with 2 forks & pulled meat apart.
 
I think I will try one this coming weekend on my outdoor fire pit grill thing.

Thanks for sharing all the knowledge

Looks good.

About cooking it in a oven or over hot fire pit it's not the internal that's the trick , it's the low and slow cooking.

The pork butt is a tough peice of meat and needs to be slow cooked.

Using a fire pit is fine as long as you use the indrect heat cooking. Don't have any hot coals under the butt but push the coals to the sides and like kdxdude said take up to 8 or more hours to cook it until the internal temp hits around 200.
 
Gah that is making my mouth water. I have never smoked a wild turkey, just fried it. Thats the way that I like it. But that sure does look good. I'm gonna have to try that!
 
Build one!! I did using concrete blocks,wire mesh grill and a couple of pieces of tin roofing cut to fit.

I will shovel coals into the cooker using a shovel and cook using indirect heat. Low and slow!!
