Any suggestions on Boston butt cook temps and when to pull one off? Jayc has a BOGO currently

Just like a shoulder. 250 to 160, wrap, pull at 203. Rest. Enjoy.

I’m calling this success!

Point is almost falling apart, but juicy tedender and delicious.

Flat is a bit on the tougher side but still tender.
I think next time I will start it a little lower and early. It seemed to hit 160 very fast.

Most importantly, both point and flat are yummy and I learned a lot!

The point is tough because you cut with the grain. Cube it, throw it on the smoker or even grill for a bit, lightly sauce it, and thank me later

Chopped flat is excellent too

Got 2 stl rib racks in the smoker now. The kids like sweet and smokey rub by McCormick so that's what I used and my wife likes a really thick smoke taste so I mixed some hickory and apple wood for the smoke.

A Boston butt is just a section of the shoulder.

Butts and shoulders are basically the same piece of meat and get treated the same way.

Yep.

Pork shoulder (Picnic) = upper arm
Pork butt (Boston) = shoulder
Ham = butt

It’s all backwards.

The cure is on for my first attempt at homemade bacon. Curing salt, sugar, smoked sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika for the cure. In 8 days will throw on smoker with a combo of apple and cherry.

Was gonna do some ribeye filets and jumbo shrimp tonight but the skies are telling me different

Same. Glad I put the ribs back in the freezer this AM and got out the hamburger. I run a Bradley, so its no good in wet weather. And I dont smoke enough to build a little mini shelter for it. We had severe storms roll through here in the middle of what would have been my smoking time.

I recently got a cast iron griddle top for my grill and have discovered smash burgers.

I'll be firing the grill up shortly since we all had a late lunch.

What did you do for smoke?

 

[freekforge]

success. here's one of the two racks I made today. Turned out better this time last time was a bit too tender. Tossed some frozen rallys fries in the air fryer and dusted them with some sweet preacher and smoked an onion for my wife and had a nice simple summer dinner. Got some chocolate chip cookies in the smoker now.

Weber Smokey Mountain runs rain, shine, sleet, snow, and without utilities.

Just an observation!
