You can apply a rub to add flavor if you like, or you can simply put it in the smoker right out of the wrapping—just check it first for loose pieces of fat or skin and trim them off. Large, thick sections of fat should be trimmed down to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in thickness.
In this regard,Will a pork loin fall apart in crock pit?
The meat will literally fall apart when it is finished. I like to shred the meat right in the crock pot with the juices to keep this crock pot pork loin extra moist. Most pork loins are around 5 pounds so I like to make the pulled pork and then freeze half of it for future recipes. You can freeze it for up to 6 months in a freezer safe container.
Subsequently, one may also ask,Can you cook pork loin butt roast?
It will not, however, have near the flavor nor will it shred easily. Save the more expensive tenderloin for fancier dishes and use a shoulder or butt roast for pulled pork! JMHO. You can, yes, but you’ll definitely want to cook it for less time, since loin is leaner than shoulder and could get tough.

Can a pork loin roast be used for pulled pork?
Can you make pulled pork with a pork loin? Definitely!! I think this is the easiest way to make pulled pork…especially with the slow cooker. Slow cooking the pork loin helps it stay moist and it is so tender. This Crock Pot Pork Loin has so much flavor thanks to the easy BBQ Rib rub that I shared a few months ago. You could also use a store bought rub to make this even easier!
Pork butt and Boston butt are the same. Pork shoulder is the thinner area of this cut but is commonly cooked and used the same as the butt. It has a bit less marbling and less fat and is usually not separated from the butt. But usually, the term pork shoulder is used interchangeably with pork butt and Boston butt.
Place your pork butt, fatty side up, directly on the grill rack. Cook the pork at 250°F (121°C) until the exterior of the pork butt is crisp and dry—this is what’s referred to as “bark” in smoking circles. This will most likely take 4 to 6 hours, depending on your grill and the size of your pork butt.
Unlike brisket, pulled pork can be made from any fatty pork roast or from a whole hog, but the best cut for pulled pork is the shoulder. High in fat and connective tissue, the shoulder is the most flavorful part of the hog. The pork shoulder is typically cut into two parts, the Boston butt and the picnic roast.
Sandwiches are but one option. Use your pulled pork to fill tacos and burritos, or as an indulgent nacho topping. For a fancy appetizer, arrange some pork on a flatbread with arugula, red onion, sliced fresh peaches and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
