    Pro Tip:Pay attention to the cut of meat you are using!Always use pork butt. This is the cut of meat you want to always get because of the way it shreds. It can be a fatty piece of meat (which also means lots of flavor) to choose one that is a little more lean so you get more for your money.The quality of meat can alter your cook time. Fresh pork butt from the butcher can cook (6lbs) for 60 minutes and it’s perfect! But packaged pork butt from a wholesale store will usually have to cook it about 90 minutes.
