    That makes perfect sense and I totally agree they'd be useful for adding to other lean meats such as venison or wild boar. If I ever get into making my own game sausage, I'll definitely remember to not toss the fat caps. Thanks for the tip!

    1st post, 1st pork butt cook on the WSM - crossing fingers!!

    That was probably the best tasting thing I've ever cooked (and I consider myself a pretty good cook)!!! I was a little concerned with leaving the butts in the cooler for so long, but they stayed steaming hot after 4 hours and the meat fell apart.  The chicken was delicious, too, but we were so...

    Hit 205F about 10 minutes ago (~3.5hrs cook time), so I transferred the foil pan to a cooler and stuffed with towels. I think I overdid the coals...grate temp is still holding at 275 and tons of healthy looking briquettes left. My wife just ran to the store for a couple chickens!! Gonna spice...

    At 165F, moved to a foil pan, mixed some spices with apple juice, apple cider vinegar, & brown sugar, poured over top, foiled over top of the pan and IT at 176F. Looking and smelling great!!

    That's the plan. I'm going for high heat and get this thing up to 205F sooner rather than later. I just put the meat on the top grate after grate temp was hovering around 320F. After adding hot water and meat, the grate temp is around 275F and climbing. Once it hits 290F I'm planning to close...

    I plan to do the same (cook to IT), just trying to math out the start time to be sure meat is cooked, wrapped, and rested by time we're ready to sit down to eat. Thanks for the input!!

    Good to know. Any guesstimate on how long to cook these two at 285-325? I think fat caps/fake caps on/off are personal preference. I think there's plenty of fat inside the butt for plenty of flavor. My preference is to remove them to get rub/smoke on parts of the meat that I'm actually going...

    1st post, 1st pork butt cook on the WSM - crossing fingers!!

    A co-worker of mine gave me a Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5" a few weeks ago and I haven't used it to smoke anything yet. I'm planning on cooking 2 ~8lb butts for Memorial Day for family/friends so I wanted to do a test run for a smaller crowd (me, my wife and kids plus another couple) tomorrow. I...
