Well, I went shopping for a butt...none available in town worth buying, just loads of ham. Sooooo, stopped at Costco and saw this for the first time ever there. Dollar more a pound than a butt, but, what the hell...snagged one with a nice fat cap. Gave it an overnight rub with my fav pork seasoning mix and in the smoker it went at 11 A.M. along with the AMNS loaded with 3 rows of pecan. Managed to keep 240-250 in the Master Forge gasser on a somewhat windy day. I figured 7 hours for dinner at 6 P.M. Had sweet smelling TBS for about 4 hours. Stuck the Maverick probe in after 2 hours and settled back for the ride. Headed down to the Vets Club for beer thirty at 3 and came back at 4:30 to the fantastic aroma of pork que wafting in the air. Had a little stall at 150 IT....pulled it a half hour later at about 155 IT and let it rest in foil to hit 160 IT. In the meantime, fired off the scalloped potatoes and Bushes honey beans. I gotta tell ya....so well worth the 20 bucks. Some of the best pork I ever ate! Cut like butter, succulent moist meat with just the right amount of chew to it and as a bonus each chop had its own rib to gnaw on. We gourged on 2 chops each and have 4 more for later meals. If you ever see one of these I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.

picked the piggy with the best fat cap
