You want the internal temp of the butt to reach 190-205 degrees. Anything less and you'll have to slice it. Let it sit for at least an hour after taking it off the heat. Some people pull it with 2 forks, but I just grab a portion with my hands. It should fall apart under the slightest pressure. You should not have to tear it apart. If I went 15-17 hours cook time, it would be very dry, with a very thick outer layer. I've done them in the oven, and on the gas grill. Both work the same. I baste it periodically for the last 3 hours.
