You can baste the butt 15-20 minutes before you pull it off to get a glaze. Some folks mix bbq sauce into the meat after they pull it apart. You can add sauce AND more rub to the pulled meat to add flavor if that’s your preference. Some don’t add until they eat it and some don’t add sauce at all. It’s all a matter of preference and tradition.

You could do it after your shred the pork. Shred it, add it to the pork and then mix it all together.

Shred the pork and leave the sauce on the side for others to added as they may

Last few minutes of it being ready to pull off the smoker mop it and then let it caramelize. Just remember, sause is full of sugar and sugar burns so dont walk away from it

Or leave the sauce in the cupboard and enjoy the taste of the meat and bark.

This is the first I've heard of saucing a butt during the cook. We leave it on the table and add it to the plated meat if desired.

I used to do it that way, now I don’t even bother with the sauce as no one I cook for ever wants it on pulled pork.

If I put sauce anything its pretty much in the last 1/2 hour to 20 minutes of the cook, for pulled pork I also sauce after it's pulled using Sweet Baby Ray's.

I'm a sauce on the side man. If I'm out someplace and they serve any of their BBQ with sauce already added I start to question what they're trying to hide.
