First Attempt at a Butt

[mikelens]

My first try at a butt. Got a CT butt from work. Gave it Pop's brine for 7 days; injected it as well. Aired it in the fridge for 24+ hours. Ready for the smoker; 240 with a mix of apple & hickory.

Looking good. So with the brine, it'll be like ham right?

 

[mikelens]

Hopefully, a 4lb baby ham; sorta.

Yep in pops brine you are making h.. Did you inject?

I was just making sure for my own knowledge.  How's it coming along?

 

[lemans]

Pops brine is the one.

Inject I did. Didn't want to take any chances

I like the way it came out. Looked good to me. Tasted as good as it looked. Not salty at all, just a hint of sweetness & the brown sugar. Just got some maple extract & honey powder on line. Let the experiments begin. Boneless loin for CB; here I come

I did a cupple of them last year in pop's brine looking forward to doing it again. Yours look really good. Looks like you went with a boneless butt?
Looking at green hams this year as well my sister has a restaurant and is able to get Netted green hams that weigh between 12 and 20 plus pounds for $1.40 a pound but I have to buy a box of 3 I need another freezer. [emoji]129300[/emoji]

Thank You all. So pleased with the result that I had the wife get the pork shoulder(picnic) from the supermarket instead of the free turkey for Thanksgiving. Going to bone & roll it then pop's brine it.
