| Others are correct, you will need to get to somewhere between 185-200 degrees F meat temperature before a pork butt breaks down and becomes tender enough to pull. That's not an exact science, every one will be different- but somewhere in that range it will happen. And, don't set your self up with a strict deadline. It's better to have it completely cooked and then foil it and let it rest than to try and rush getting it done.
