Foamheart inspired me to bone this butt and tie it up with his pork chop thread.... It made perfect sense...... http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/253274/brined-frenched-rubbed-smoked-glazed-cheap-pork-roast
So I boned it.... Trussed it.... Injected it with Stock at 5%... 1% salt, 0.5% sugar and 0.5% Ames Phos to hold in the moisture..... We've been eating ham so no cure #1 was used...
Meat was at 31 deg. F, in the center, after boning and trussing... Sooooo it took awhile to cook.... 12 hours to get to 203 deg. F... 4 hours in the foil, on the rack, to let the juices redistribute and the meat to finish tenderizing...
Decided no spices so we could taste the pig... This roast is awesome... tender..... moist.... this is, BY FAR, the best butt I have smoked... look at the juices..... I'm convinced, Ames Phos does what the package says it does... Keeps stuff moist...
I split it into 3rds and vac packed 2 of them.... the last one is for a couple dinners...

Thanks for looking..... Dave
