Pork Boston Butt (5KG's)

An American style whole pork Boston butt weighing in at a massive 5.00KG's. We cut this one slightly differently to our usual Whole Pork Butts, as we leave it as wide as possible, with the whole shoulder blade left in. We also remove the rind, meaning this one comes without the skin on. We think this one's great for the real pro smokers out there, but if you're looking for something a little smaller, check out our Whole Pork Butt's.

Check out our article What is Pork Butt? for lots more information about the pork butt, including where it is cut from, and why it is called the 'butt'.

What to do with Pork Boston Butt

If you've got a smoker, then this is the cut of pork for you. If you're looking to cook pulled pork at home the trick is to cook low and slow for around 6 hours, then use 2 forks to shred the pork into small chunky pieces.
