What temperature should you cook a Boston butt in the oven?

Coat pork liberally with spice rub, rubbing on all sides and in between crevices. Cook at 325˚ degrees for one hour; reduce heat to 225˚F. Cook for up to 16 hours or until meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of meat registers 200 degrees. Remove from oven; allow cooked meat to rest at least one hour.

Do you cover Boston butt in the oven?

Heat your oven to 250°F (121°C). Place a wire rack in a roasting pan. Place your pork butt, fatty side up, on the rack. Roast the pork, uncovered, until the exterior of the pork butt is crisp and dry—this is what's referred to as "bark" in smoking circles.

Do you cook a pork roast fat side up?

Place your pork loin fat side up in your roasting pan. By having the fat on top, you're allowing the fat layer to baste the roast as it cooks. This is the step that keeps the pork from becoming dry and tough!

How long does it take to cook a Boston butt at 300 degrees?

Preheat a grill or smoker to 300 degrees F. Place the pork butt on the grill or in the smoker, and cook over indirect heat until tender, 4 to 5 hours.

What type of pork roast is best for pulled pork?

Pork shoulder

What liquid can I use for pulled pork?

Add about 1/4 Cup Liquid Per Pound of Pork Aromatics aside, the actual liquid you put in the crock pot is what will flavor the pork the most. I use the term "liquid" loosely—some of your liquid could be ketchup or barbecue sauce or mustard.

What do you do if pulled pork is done early?

I would say, pull when it's 190-200 deg, then set aside and cover. Let it rest for 20-40 min, then pull apart. To reheat, pop in the oven with a lid or some foil. The key is trap the moisture when reheating, and you should be fine.

What is the secret to pulled pork?

To prevent it from becoming too dry (a mishap that often befalls even pulled pork experts!), choose one large cut of meat. The secret, in this case, is to reduce the amount of meat surface exposed to the heat, which is the part most prone to dryness, while preserving the moisture within.

Can you leave dry rub overnight?

If you're planning to enjoy the slab of ribs with purely the dry rub, overnight is best. You don't want to go longer than overnight (10-12 hours) though. This dry rub recipe is very well salted to get that moisture-locking effect, so if it is on for too long it can dry out the meat similar to curing.
