I think @sandyut was in my back pocket at Costco the other day....that or I was in his cause we both got the same basket with two boneless pork butts in it!

So for starters what a great day for a long smoke....... the Memphis Pellet is going to have it’s worth it moment today!

What a couple of nice looking butts..... just don’t say that out loud while in the Costco line to pay..... you might loose your membership!

Each butt was fat trimmed, scored, and seasoned with a sprinkle of kosher salt, stone ground mustard, and big bald BBQ from Jeff’s book. I was lazy and put a couple of skewers vs string to hold them together.

Just a closeup on the crust.....the boy and me almost cut off the top inch of each for a snack! A couple of diamond squares were consumed though!

Bumped the temp up to 275 now that they are in a pan....the taste test made us hungry.....

The plan for these is chili verde, pulled pork, and something else special that will be its own thread..... it’s a secret that will have to wait..... a new creation to bbq elegance. I just hope I didn’t jinx it......

now we wait......
 
Looks really good! Nice snacks

Thanks Sow! I’m getting excited for sure.....been planning for a few weeks refining the idea..... it will be pulled pork as never before seen.......

Durn boy! You got some purty butts there.

:-) Thanks, I think a pork snack a you go pork but should be a thing.....just eat the crust as it goes then make a second layer!

I didn’t pull the remaining as I wanted to keep the moisture retained!
 
@mike243 thanks for the like!
 
Your plates sure look tasty.
Nice looking. I had never considered using wood skewers I have always tied my butts. :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_sunglasses:

thanks CP! The skewers are easy and work nicely!

@whistlepig thanks for the like
 
Nice butt there @civilsmoker
What is your opinion of skewered versus tied?
I'm a string tie

Thanks FA!

Honestly I’m a string guy but in the move not sure were my bundle of string went hiding so I grabbed the skewers. They actually did pretty dang good and were simple and quick! I will probably use them for boneless butt again.
