Experimenting with pork butts

[MUDDOG]

Not what you thought, AQ.

Long time ago had a guy smoke a brisket and a pork butt. The pork was actually better than the brisket, which I found unpossible. But this dude didn't smoke it down to pure gelatin that you could chop with a dinner plate. You could more or less slice it. And it was done, and darn good.

Anyone have experience with this, cooking time/temp, etc?

I smoke it at at 225/250 till it firms up, then wrap in foil till it's done. Dont like that pulled pork crap.

You cannot mess up a pork butt.

Cover it in mustard and whatever spices you want. Smoke it until you are sick of lookin at it. Wrap in foil

Most all I have time for is the butt. You get more smoke/seasoning coverage and the time spent is 50%.

Buy a large bone in butt (+11lbs) and split approx halves. One bone in, one boneless (bone in is always bigger half).

Smoke for 3hrs and finish for two or 3 (same process as brisket). Locate bone in closer to fire box.

The pork also move thru the digestive tract easier.

the answer to your question that no one has answered is smoke as you would for pulled pork but pull it about 175-185 rest and slice.

How about pork ribs? I usually do them like this, but the best I ever had were at a party I went to and the guy did a dry rub only. I haven't played with that method yet.

To the original question, yes. Depending on what I am going for, I will either take it to 205 or 185-190. The 205 is true pulled pork. The latter I do chopped pork with and it’s delicious.

Might as well put it in a crock pot if you’re going to wrap in foil….same with folks who wrap briskets.
