Kinda getting tired of pulling my butt. What temperature is good for slicing??

190 deg

If you want slices of pork how about using loin instead? Mop it with brow sugar and whiskey mix, cook to 140*

How about chopping instead of pulling? Considered doing this a few times, But I personally love the feeling of pulling a pork butt. Love watching it just all fall apart with little effort.

I prefer chopped to pulled.

Hmmm....what temperature for chopping?

I do have a couple pork loins but I also have several butts.

The last sliced butt I did, I cooked to 185. It was to tender, would just fall apart when I tried to slice. I think next time I'm going to pull at 170.

Well your asking the wrong guy for one! but I'm with CoS on this one. 170-180ish.

I cook like I do for pulled (bone wiggle)and get busy with the cleaver

+1 If you don't cook it until bone wiggle you don't render it properly and you will be picking out fat.

I totally agree with this. I've never had much success with loins until I realized that 140° is the sweet spot. I did one last September and oh my. Sliced it for dinner hot then put it in the fridge and sliced it for cold sandwiches. Unbelievable!
