Tips & Substitutions
For best results, choose a well-marbled Boston butt for juicy, flavorful meat. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding some cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the salt before boiling. To save time, you can use a slow cooker instead of boiling, cooking on low for 8 hours with just salt until tender. This recipe works wonderfully with your favorite barbecue sauce; experiment to find the perfect flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this barbecue pork on a toasted bun for a delicious sandwich, or alongside classic sides like coleslaw and cornbread for a hearty meal. It pairs beautifully with Kay'S Famous Baked Beans for a complete barbecue spread. For a lighter option, consider serving it over a fresh salad or with grilled vegetables.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover barbecue pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or extra sauce to prevent drying out. Cover with a lid to retain moisture, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, microwave in short intervals, stirring in between.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of pork for this recipe?
Yes, you can use pork shoulder or even a pork loin, but cooking times may vary. The key is to ensure the meat is tender enough to shred easily. A shoulder will yield the best results due to its fat content.
What type of barbecue sauce works best?
The best sauce is one that you love! Sweet, tangy, or spicy sauces all complement the pork well. Experiment with regional barbecue sauces for different flavor profiles, or make your own for a personal touch.
Can I make this recipe in advance for a gathering?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pork a day ahead, store it in the refrigerator, and simply reheat it with sauce before serving. This makes it perfect for gatherings or potlucks, allowing you to enjoy time with your guests.
