• Cut: The best roast for preparing pulled pork is the flavorful shoulder, which is broken down into two parts, Boston Butt and Picnic Roast. Though both yield delicious pulled pork, uniformly shaped Boston Butt is more commonly used.

• Temperature: For tender pork, your best tools are patience and indirect heat. The ideal preparation calls for grilling at 285°F for 45 minutes per pound until tender.

• Technique: When finished cooking, remove from heat and let sit, covered in foil, for 15 to 30 minutes. Shred meat with two forks, discarding remaining fat.
