Rough decision, how about both?
I don't know, I think if I had to decide between one or the other...I guess I would have to say pork butt, no ribs, no butt.
Smoke some ribs, shred the meat and hit it with some finishing sauce
When it's just me I always go for the Pork Butt. Feast on some great PPB and then package up the rest in double serving packets for the deepfreeze. Keeps you set and barbecued even in the baddest parts of winter!
I agree with Rivet on the freezin thing but I have to disagree on the choice. I say do both. Freeze what you have left over. Now if I absolutely have to choose, it would be a matter of when I want to eat. If I've got the time... the butt... then again the ribs would be finished sooner.... you could munch on the ribs while your doing the butt... oooop... back to both again... I'm sorry. I don't think I'm going to be able to help you out.
Now thats a man with the future in mind I mean if you smoke ribs you could eat them in 1 sitting but if you smoke both you can eat once then take a nap and get up and eat again. Pure genious.
