Fillet of Pork Butt

[SmokinEdge]

Well happy birthday to your mom! And looks like a delicious meal! Time we'll spent on this occasion! Nicely done.

Thank you Ryan. Was delicious. We also did a double thick cheese cake with a cashew butter crust with a blackberry topping. Mom was a happy girl.

Man that is some good looking pork and the bbq juice sounds interesting, I missed that on the first go around.

I like apples in slaw too but I usually gravitate towards a vinegar based one. The sweetness provides a nice balance to the acidity.

Very nicely done.

WOW!! That all looks and sounds fantastic. A ton of work it looks like spread out over several posts but the end result is pretty awesome. Excellent job!1

I've cut butts in half (sometimes I'll leave the blade bone in) for essentially the same reasons... more surface area and shorter cook times.

Looks good. If it comes out as good as smoking an intact butt, what's not to like?

I'm in for that, great suggestion on breaking down the butts.



Now that would be fun. We have a 3 screen drive-in near us out in the country and that's about as close to a movie theater that I get. Go before dark and the grands get to run around and play with the other kids, good times...

Looks great

That's very interesting. I smoked a shoulder yesterday, using a 12" tube with half cherry and half hickory. About 3 hours in I wanted more cherry so I added a 6' tube with just cherry. All lumberjack 100% pellets.

All in all, pretty disappointed in the smoke flavor. When I first started I thought about cutting in half, but in the other direction and should have. This is an even better idea.

Waiting for the results Edge. I just did my first long smoke of the season. 11hrs in the smoker and 1 in the oven because I was getting tired. Let us know how it turns out.

Point for sure

Those do look good, but am waiting for the results like Chris!

PS, I have done the smaller portions like that many times to speed things up. Very tasty and quick!

Yep nothing wrong with a boneless or portioned butt. The last wedding cook I did the hosts provided boneless butts. I kinda freaked at first but there was a bunch more surface area for rub and smoke. They cooked much faster too. I didn't get to try any but I got good reports. If it works for you, go with it.
