Pork Roast

[coldwindcoach]

I wanted to try my hand at some pulled pork. I am from a small West Texas town and all thesmall town market had was Pork roast. Will this even work and if it will how should prepare it

[CtheSmoke]

Is it a Pork Loin...? Others may know better than me but it seems to me that it may be a bit lean for that.

Are you sure you're asking for the right roast for your pull pork...? It goes by several names. Boston Butt, Blade Roast, Shoulder Roast. Might be a few more but those come to mind at the moment...

It'll work need to know what kind of cooker you have and there's a numerous amount of way to make this roast, keep it simple like rub it down and apply to the cooker and smoke it for I'll guess 10 hrs depending on size and what type of temps. you maintain lots of variables here make sure since this is your first make sure you take the internal temp to 195 and wrap and rest for 1 to 2 hrs then it should pull real easy

Hey Cold, If it is a pork loin roast it will be too lean for the smoker. Like CtS said, look for a picnic or shoulder. They are going to be 8lbs or so and usually under $1.50/lb. Cook it like Mark said. They are very forgiving.

? Too lean for a smoker?

I like to cook them in the smoker they hold up quite well, but I only cook them to 155 - 160F, and they come out great.

Of course if you are trying to make pulled pork from one, you are not going to get the right effect, but to smoke I just love them!

Sure you can do loins on the smoker. I just think they work better on higher heat. They are already tender and don't need the time to break down like a butt.
