FAQ’s About Smoker Recipes for Pulled Pork

When is Smoked Pulled Pork Done?

Pork is cooked when the internal temperature comes up to 190°F-195°F or around 88°C. It should then be rested so that the juices can redistribute throughout the meat. Check out this short guide on pulled pork done temp for more on the topic.

Where Does Pulled Pork Come From?

Pulled pork comes from the shoulder of the animal. It is also called Boston Butt or Pork Butt, even though it doesn’t come from the hindquarters of the pig.

Pulled Pork – Skin On or Off?

You should trim the skin off before cooking pulled pork, or get a butcher to do it for you.

This allows the rub, flavours and smoke to really get into the pork and permeate it.
