    What should I do with this cut of Pork??

    Thanks... Figured the fat could use a bit of trimming on the cap. Looks like this is part of the picnic but not the entire shoulder. What do you think? Looking at the first picture there is bone/joint on the end I'm just confused by the shape of the cut.

    What should I do with this cut of Pork??

    So, I go to the butcher this morning looking for a simple Pork Butt cut somewhere around 7lbs give or take... I ended coming home with this monster cut instead! To be honest, I have no idea what my game plan should be, nor am I completely clear on what the entire cut is. It was the only nice...

    Advice on timing of Pork Butt / Party

    They don't have to come off at the exact same time, I'm trying to time the large one to come off somewhere around 6-8AM Saturday morning. I'm trying to avoid having to get up hours earlier in the morning to pull the smaller one.

    Advice on timing of Pork Butt / Party

    One last question for you guys... I went to pick the butt today and instead of the larger one I ordered, I know have a 9.5lb one and 6.5lb one. I've never cooked two butts at the same time that were such different weights. Obviously the 6.5lb one is going to cook much faster. Should I throw...

    Advice on timing of Pork Butt / Party

    Thanks for all the advice. My plan is to pull it before the party and we will reheat it. Seems like everyone agrees on that approach and its the safest way to go. I will have access to a several grills at the party. Any advice on reheating? I was thinking about putting them in pans with a...

    Advice on timing of Pork Butt / Party

    I will factor in a four hour buffer so that should be good. I'm going to plan on having it off at 6AM, hopefully that will cover my bases.

    Advice on timing of Pork Butt / Party

    I am smoking a 10lb butt this weekend for my father in laws college graduation. Kind of a big deal so I want to get this right! I'm taking Friday off of work and can put the butt on at any time, but I will have to be at the ceremony around 11AM on Saturday morning and the party won't start to...

    Pork Butt Temperature Help?!?

    Thanks, the bark tasted fantastic when I tried it. It cooked really well, the stall was pretty calm, and it walked right through it in about 2 hours. Had one little weird bit where it took over 90 minutes to get from 189 to 195 but that was it.

    Just pulled it at 195F IT. Sitting in the cooler wrapped in foil and towels for a while. Will pull it in about an hour and a half. The bone nearly fell out when I touched it.

    Probably not, unless the stall is going to ruin the party time. I've done both in the past, and lately have stopped foiling unless necessary. Will probably cook all the way up to 195F IT and then check the bone to see if it will pull cleanly.

    Here are the only pics taken so far... Can't wait to open her up later and look at that dark crunchy bark! The suspense always kills you.

    Pork Butt Temperature Help?!?

    Thanks for the feedback, it's one of those gray areas for sure... If it hadn't been probed, I would have been golden. It's hanging at 162F IT right now, so I've still go a ways to go!

    Pork Butt Temperature Help?!?

    Hi All, First post on here, I found the forum by searching all about the 40-140F in 4 hours rule and it seems this forum is very active regarding that topic. I understand the rule, and know it has been revised in '09 to 41-135F, but I ran into a situation last night that I've never had before...
