Pit Tips for Pork Butt – Boneless

  • • Target internal temp: 203°F — use a probe thermometer, not just time
  • • Rest time matters — wrap in a towel and cooler to hold temp
  • • Butcher paper lets moisture breathe — better bark than foil with similar speed benefit
  • • Recommended purchase is higher than the minimum to account for real-world package sizes
  • • Your 15% safety buffer adds wiggle room if the cook runs long
