I'm going to be honest...

I was not planning on getting a boston butt. Alas, being St. Patties day prices were $4.12/lb!! for corned beef which I really had a craving for. Guess I need to wait until later.

But I really dont think I am out much as I worked this beauty up today. It is resting and absorbing juices.









Rubbed down with brow sugar.



Cant wait to get to this. I may just throw it in tonight so its ready for lunch, or let it enjoy its soak, decisions, decisions.

Get at it and smoke it and relax.

 

[fire it up]

Hope it turns out as great as your other honey injection experiments.

 

[benjaminr]

I know! I have high hopes, it has been in the smoker and is foiled at 170. Need to make it back from class soon!

Oh the things we do for some meat!

I will have to follow this thread and see how the honey injection turns out.

Well im going to be honest I learned a little today and I wont be writing rave reviews but it was my error.

before class it jumped to 170 really fast. In fear it would be done to fast I turned the temp down 20 degrees. And when i got back from my hour long class it was at the same temp... Then I only got it back up until 190 when I pulled it. I should have just left it in to 200+

BUT I will say it was good just not fall apart like my last one. Flavor was spot on.

 

[fire it up]

At least the flavor was good.
Did you chop it up?

 

[caveman]

It looks pretty good. Did you pull or slice? More qview. More qview. More qview. (LOL)

 

[benjaminr]

I sliced it. I was pretty bummed that it didn't pull or fall apart because I was shooting for PP. Alas I will get it next time and not pull that crap again.

And no I didn't take pics because of disappointment but my friends didn't say a thing just dug it and raved about it.
