    Baisic pork butts

    Morning Brownies. That's the way they came from the butcher. I like the smaller butts as they usually cook faster. This 2 not so much. I'm not sure if the truss had anything to do with with it but they were supper moist.

    Baisic pork butts

    I did 2-4.5# pork butts yesterday. Pit temp was pretty constant @ 245*. Took a little over 10 hr to hit 198* (usually runs around 8 hr). They both stalled at 190 *, 8 hr in so I foiled. Plated with creamy slaw and jalapeño poppers. Pretty descent.
