BBB is cured & smoked Pork Butt.Excuse my ignorance but what is it? Have been looking thru Bearcarvers "how to" list and have decided that Buckboard Bacon is going to be the next thing I try....
Yes and no. You want to have some fat so that is the no. You can cure and smoke any but it is rally not bacon as you know it. Like a loin would be Canadian bacon.Next question, can any cut of meat be substituted for the Pork Shoulder?
Not Really.Next question, can any cut of meat be substituted for the Pork Shoulder?
Not Really.
Pork Loin would be Canadian Bacon.
Pork Belly would be Belly Bacon.
Pork Jowls would be Jowl Bacon.
Pork Ribs would be Bacon-On-A-Stick.
Pork Shoulder or Boston Butt would be Buckboard Bacon.

LOL:Thanks....your answer leads to my next question, Boston Butt the same as a regular Butt??
LOL:
You got Fat Butts, Good looking butts, sagging butts, etc, etc.
However in Hogs, I would have to say IMO a Boston Butt is a fancy name for a Pork Butt, and they are the best part of the Shoulder.
I could be wrong on that, because I never really cared----I just get the "Boston Butt".

That is a good price. It also makes good sausage.Next trip to town I will be swinging by Cash & Carry, they have boneless butts for 1.59 a pound right now. Buckboard Bacon....and Pulled Pork I suppose, have some questions about that but that is for another time...

Other than BBB or Butt Ham, you can make Pulled Pork.So what else can I make with a butt? Beyond ribs and bacon neither one of us is much of a fan of pork. In my case it is because growing up when ever my mom cooked pork it was beyond dry. Hoping that my opinion changes with me smoking it. I Have had some pulled pork in the past that I liked.
