Boston Butt on the Big Green Egg (Baby BBQ)

This past weekend we had a Baby BBQ at our neighbor Pam & Dex's house (aka "Club Canada", yes they are in fact Canadian).  The BBQ was intended as a baby shower for Leah, but since we had such a small wedding, it was also a great opportunity to get together friends from Birmingham that weren't at the wedding.  Leah and I decided we would take care of the food, so I was tasked with providing pulled pork for 30-35 guests.

As I had to explain to my sister, pulled pork (usually) comes from a cut referred to as the Boston Butt, which is from the upper part of the shoulder.  Boston Butt is a tougher cut of meat which contains a lot of fibrous connective tissue, which lends itself to being smoked low and slow on the Big Green Egg.  Cooking for a long time at low temperatures slowly dissolves the fat and tougher tissue, and leaves the meat extremely tender.
