Pork Butt for Dinner

[ckkphoto]

I have haunted this site too much. Got hungry for Q this morning. Ran out the door and picked up a Butt (.99/lb at Walmart Foodstore) and two frozen whole turkeys for another day (.58/lb). Dinner is at seven thirty. I am afraid I am going to have to but the afterburners to low and slow. I will smoke at the usuall 225 from now till 5. then kick it up to 300-350 for the last two hours. More mopping with the extra heat. Fortunately its pretty hard to screw up butts.

Fortunately its pretty hard to screw up butts.

I'll leave that alone.

I just did three of them last week and they were fantastic. I took some up for the Bear's game at the club and put a couple bags away in the freezer for those cold ass winter days coming up soon. They pulled apart like toilet paper.

No que this weekend -- gotta do chicken stew, salad, etc. for a catering job :D

Next weekend will be doing a butt and a brisket for the office Christmas party on Wednesday. I'm going to smoke 'em on Sunday and pull the pork and add finishing sauce and then refridgerate until Tuesday night. The brisket I'll keep whole until Tuesday night then I'll slice it -- foil pan everything and the slow heat at about 225 on time-bakel. Wednesday I'll throw everything in a cooler for transport to the staff meeting cum Christmas party.

I've been going through withdrawal lately -- had a catering two weekends ago and then was gone Thanksgiving weekend. I NEED some smoke in my life :D

David,

Thanks for typing all the details out for your christmas smoke. I have been wanting to do more pre smokes for parties and such but did not know if it would still be good. And I don't always have the time right before the party to smoke what I want (i.e. brisket).

Good info, I will be archiving it.

Cutting Butts up for sausage, what a pain in the ass. Then the wifw says I really don't like sausage that much. Guess she will learn or have rice and pasta for awhile. She isn't getting my "Sausage".
