Hi to all,
sorry, not shure if this is in the riqht forum...
during reading in this forum I found some new items in English language. Just to notify me. I know what´s a pulled pork (Pork Butt smoked wit 230 F to approx 195°F internal and pulled with 2 forks and served in a bun with slaw.
Sometimes I see also the word "butt" or "smoked butt".
What´s exactly the differenz ?
I thing the meat cut is the same. But is there a differenz in the finish inside temperautre (like a roasted pork, temp approx 167 F, not pulled but sliced)?
Or ist this exactly the same, only with 2 different words ?
easy question for you-differenz between butt and Pulled Pork

Simon,
Guten Tag! You are on correct about what"pulled pork" is. "Butt" or "pork butt" is the cut of meat, which is essentially the upper half of a pork shoulder. Perhaps the reason you may see them called different things is that pulled pork is not he only way to use the cut of meat. If you cook it to a lower internal temperature, as you suggested, it can be sliced and served as a tasty roast. This cut is also often used for making sausage. It is a very versatile cut of meat.

Thanx, know I´m a bit foxier
but one thing, just to notify me.
The "base" material (Pork cut) is clear now. But I sometimes read posts with "pork Butts".
For example (sorry, this shouldn´t be advertisment...) here:
http://www.texas bbq/no2.htm
the producer writes this works great on brisket and pork butts. What means he now exactly ? Pulled pork oder roasted pork ? the base cut ist of course the same - pork butt - but the destination is different.
So, when we are talking about a finish grilled meat which is called "pork butt" (not the base cut), what means this ?
Hope you understand my question...

The term Butt refers to "Boston Butt", which as mentioned earlier has nothing to do with the rear end of a pig.
This cut of meat can be used for:
Pulled Pork (the classic BBQ use)
Country Style ribs (which again aren't ribs, but a rather butt sliced into "ribs" sometimes call faux ribs and usually grilled but can be smoked or baked)
Braised and used in Carnitas (eg Mexican pork burrittos)
Making sausage (ground up, seasoned and usually stuffed into casings -a butt has almost the ideal fat content - think Bratwurst)
Cut into chunks, braised with cabbage and dumplings (my German roots )
and the list goes on.
So to recap:
A butt doesn't come from the hind end of a pig.
Country Style ribs are not ribs, they are a sliced butt.
The rear end of a pig is a ham I won't confuse you more with the term "Picnic Ham"

Yeah Simon when the wording is BBQ pork butt or smoked pork butt it means that the cut was cooked as a whole piece. It is not specific on whether it was served sliced or pulled it could be either way.
With all the sausage making in Germany I'm surprised you ever see a butt since the are 20% fat 80% lean a good combination for sausage making.
