I just love it when the boy goes shopping with the wife, he fills the cart full of meat treats. This time he grabbed a pork butt and a rack of ribs. So we are are in the works for some pulled pork tacos and salsa verde!!!
I’m trying something a little different this time, since scoring the top of the last brisket I did for New Years worked out so well I decided to give it a test run on the butt. So I 1/4” fat trimmed and then gave it a pretty heavy 45 score!
Then it got salted down, lathered with ale mustard, then dressed with Big Bald BBQ rub. I really worked the score lines to get mustard and rub fully worked in. The goal is to create more pockets to hold juice and create more bark.
On it goes! Using the Memphis pellet running at 235. The plan is to take it up to 160ish then wrap it.....it’s din din so it needs to be done!
Will post progress pics for your viewing enjoyment as they are created!
