Slicing “pulled” pork

[SBR Sarge]

Is it possible to smoke a pork butt, let it cool and set up, and then slice it like corned beef?

Mom has a recipe or something she wants to try, and I have no experience doing this.

And this will be a store-bought hunk of meat, not wild hog if it matters.

Yes, just don't over cook it or the slicing will get ugly.

Are you saying you'd chill it in the fridge till cold?

I do it all the time. Don’t cook it to say 180 then foil and go to 205. Cook to 160 and hold that temp for a few minutes. Take out to rest and the temp of the meat will go up another 5-10 degrees. Then cool it in your fridge and slice and then reheat what you plan on eating. You can also slice for eating right away when it’s hot. I prefer sliced meat over shredded and pulled.

you can smoke a pork loin quick and it slices great

The good BBQ places around here offer it chopped/pulled or sliced...and you can get white or dark or mixed. Dark sliced man myself..
