    Serving smoked pork

    I know that you can get slices from a Boston, but I don’t know which part to use.

    Can someone guide me?

    Thanks.

    If you plan on service sliced pork. i'd recommend the tenderloin #1.... 2nd option would be the loin.

    the shoulder and butt etc....may be a little fatty depending on the preferences of who's eating it.

    BBQ joint sliced pork is butt or shoulder. Country style ribs are sliced boston butt. Sliced tenderloin is different, very lean.

    While you certainly can (and I do) smoke pork tenderloin it's a very dry cut that is much better suited to being cooked quicker and a lot less than you would a butt or shoulder.

    To clarify, I meant getting some slices from the Boston after it has been smoked and then pulling the rest.

    Here is what I would do, Go ahead and bite the bullet and buy a butt and then buy some pork steaks. Bone look familiar in the Pork Steaks--That is right...Butcher just cut up a butt. If you go to a butcher you can have them cut to your thickness..

    Let me try this one more time. When you watch Pitmasters some of them will put slices and pulled in the box from the same cook. Is there a special part of the meat to slice?
