    I seasoned this pork butt with sea salt and fresh course ground black pepper and smoked at 250° for 6 hours. I then bumped it up to 275°F until probe tender, about 202°F internal temperature.

    Shredding the meat

    Simply shred the meat with meat claws or two forks. It should be EXTREMELY tender and just fall apart.
