Boston Butt

I cooked a 5 pound Boston butt on my 18 1/2" WSM. I injected it with apple cider and apple cider vinegar. I coated it with my standard pork rub (sucralose, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper).
I cooked it at 250F in an uncovered aluminum pan for about 3 hours then foiled for about another 2 1/2 hours, until tender with a bamboo skewer. I wanted it chunky, so I pulled it by hand.
It came out flavorful, juicy and tender!

On the WSM.

Thanks for looking.
 
Great looking pulled pork! Personally I prefer to have the fat render away from the butt, giving a bit more bark, but that's just my opinion. How does the sucralose work in place of sugar in your rubs?
 
I never panned it from the beginning either, but I will try that next time. Thanks for the post.
