You'll have to tell us how lean it is. That small would be OK (I guess), but
unless it's got some fat marbled throughout, most likely won't get good pulled
pork from it.
If it's too lean, I'd cook it about like the directions say, but I might look at
it closely at the 140 to 150 range, and slice it thin, across the grain.
