Hey all
I've had my 22.5 WSM for almost a month now, and this is my third smoke; first time trying pork butt. I'm trying the Chris Lilly injection recipe.
One thing I'm a little worried about is that these are boneless butts, and I don't have any kitchen twine. I had only read the process for bone-in and didn't realize I might need that. The only twine I have is defintely not cotton only as I tried to burn a little and noticed some bubbling up and foul smelling smoke..
For the one on the left It's a little more solid as I left more of the fat cap on, but the one on the right is almost falling apart even WITHOUT being cooked, so I'm worried about that one. Should I not even try to flip/turn that one while cooking? Will it be a lost cause to foil that one (possibly both) when they're ready to come off the cooker?
Any advice would be appreciated!
