I'm smoking a 12lb bone in pork butt for the games today. Going to be done a couple hours ahead. The question I have is should I hold it in a faux cambro for those couple hours or should I just pull it directly when I take it off. Curious if it makes any difference.

We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

2-3 hours of rest does a pork butt good. Especially one that big.
I've pulled smaller right off the pit and while they are probe tender, the pull it is a little tougher than I like.
Now I don't really "pull" in the purest sense of the term. I pull by hand to get any major globs of fat out. Then get a cleaver and start chopping. I also like to cut the money muscle off and slice it. Last one went to the birthday lady. She doesn't really eat meat (stomach issues) so I told her to make sure and give the extra to her husband. There was NO extra.Last edited by Jerod Broussard; January 24, 2016, 01:01 PM.

I just pulled it off and got it in cambro. Barely got it off. Started to fall right apart as I picked up. Must of melted perfectly. I put it back together as best as possible. We'll see how it works.

I'm late, sounds like you got it though, I always try for a couple hour hold. No butt for me today but about the time the Bronco's lose i'll be eating ribs. I like mine dry, our guests will have theirs wet...with tears
