Prepped a Boston butt for tomorrow's smoke session, a few surprising things happened:
My butt started to fall apart during the trimming. Right down the middle. I have almost two separate meat hunks now.
And a lot of my injection leaked out. Unlike my trimming escapade, this always happens to me. I was going into the muscles from the side, but a few of those muscles did not hold the injection. Is this normal? I have a lot of injection in my pan instead of in my meat.
Luckily I got two butts, so right after the fourth I am going to have another go at this.
