    Screwed Up My Pulled Pork

    Can't remember

    I haven't smoked for several months so I'll ask a dumb question. I put on 3 Boston Butts, each 8b lbs. I know I want the internal at 200* when I pull them but I forgot where I should have the smoker set. Should it be about 225* or higher. Thanks.
