My hobby.

[DocSteve]

So I smoke for myself. No one else enjoys my endevours. That allows me to experiment with anything that catches my eye.
Pulled a boneless pork butt (on sale, picked up a few real cheap) out of the freezer.
This thread will be a little longer as it will develope in time. I have started w/ the butt marinating in a Korean style recipie. Will sit for 2 days being shook while it soaks.
I went right to the edge as far as space to do it.
Will do follow on posts as it develops.
The marinade recipie I doubled for rhe most part. Substituted the suger for brown suger. Used what I had.

Wow, you sure got a bowl full.

Yep, lol. Little but of juice spill over.
Fun thing is I walked my dog after prep. Ran into elderly neighbor.
70-80, owns a welding business. I mentioned that one of grills was stolen a few weeks ago.
He said he built one that was geared towards single cooks and offered it to me.
Said sure.
Cant wait to see what he brings over.

I've heard of Shaken Baby Syndrome,
But, this is the first time I've heard of Shaken Butt.
But then, I have massaged my Bacon during the Maken...
So, do you twerk the butt over the next 2 days?

Looks great Doc!
I'm watching to see how this comes out.

I'll leave to it. Probably time for some Shaken Music for the kitchen.
Get to twitchin.

Towards the end of the month (get paid once a month) I start smoking random stuff.
Experiment w/ what I have on the freezer.
Rest of the month I've got ribs, chicken, pork etc etc.
This smoke is a 1st time marinade try. Spent 12 years married to a Korean chick.

If your elderly neighbor has built grills, it sounds like you've likely found someone to enjoy your hobby with.

FYI, 2 gallon ziplocks are perfect for a boston butt to marinate in.....no mess.

I haven’t had a lot of Korean food, but that looks very like it will be pretty tasty!

I got stuck w/ a Korean wife for 12 years. Lived next door to her mom. Ya, I learned a little about Korean cooking. Lol.

Got to admire a culture that puts a grill in the middle of the table.

Funny side story. My ex had been away and out of Korean culture for awhile.
The 1st meal her mom made us she got backhanded reaching for food.
I learned that day the man of the family gets his food first and is served.
My ex didnt like that little tradition but, lol, I did.

Its smoking time. Marinade is done. Side explanation. That gas grill was given to me as a house warming gift from my parents. Was my grandfathers. Dont use it, been sitting there for almost 2 years w/ a full tank. Just cant throw it away.

 

[bluewhisper]

Be glad it doesn't have a big wasp nest in it.

Once I opened a long-unused old gas grill and there was a paper wasp nest about twice the size of a football in it. Fortunately it was a cold morning. I shut the lid.

 

[DocSteve]

Ya glad that hasnt happend.
A side flap of the smoke cooked quick. Pulled it as a snack.
