Primo Preparation Time Guide
The following meat temperatures are given as approximations. Experi-
ence is your best guide. For your safety, we recommend using a meat
thermometer to ensure the quality and the proper safe temperature of
your food.
Helpful Hint:
The Boston Butt Roast is the cut of choice for pulled pork
barbecue since it’s marbled with enough fat to keep the meat moist
while cooking.
Substitutes:
Pork picnic roast or pork center cut loin roast (lower in fat;
roast at a lower temperature and avoid overcooking) 2 hours per pound
at 225 degrees is a good rule of thumb. Remember this is for the indi-
vidual piece of meat not the total weight. Two 5 pound butts (10 pounds
total) should cook in about 10 hours as long as there is some separa-
tion on the grill.
