We can do pork too. It just takes a backseat to beef. Its hard to screw up a butt anyway. Ribs are another story.

Disagree with this. Very few Texans know how to make pork butt, they usually try to cook it like a brisket unwrapped and it comes out dry and tasting like shredded chicken.

I actually have a BBQ catering business on the side in Austin and specialize in pork butt (Mom is from South Carolina). I am making 19 butts for an event on Friday night for my kid's school carnival.

For me I inject it and rub it. Get it to 160 internal and pull it off. Double wrap it with foil and pour in a cup of apple juice inside the foil. Slow cook it until internal temp is 200-205. Profit!
