Curing a boneless pork butt like pancetta?

CarolinaQue · Jan 11, 2013

Any one ever make pancetta out of a boneless pork butt and then smoke it? I'm thinking about doing this and was wondering how it came out? Any one care to share a recipe?

Will do! I'm also makin pastrami for the first time.

Also Buckboard Bacon

I leave out the liquid smoke and cold smoke for 3 hours, then roll and tie, and continue the recipe with smoking at 200° until internal temp is 140°

Pastrami is fun! Are you corning your own beef first or starting with a corned brisket?

Coppa is the money muscle plus a couple extra muscles. It is more salami than pancetta, but it is the best stuff ever.

I've done buckboard bacon several times. Was just looking for some thing a little different.

Buck board bacon, Yummy. I will be curing some next week along with 2 pork bellies for bacon. Slice the buck board bacon like ham and fry in pan for breakfast!

I've done both Buckboard and regular bacon several times. I was looking for some thing closer to a cured ham end result. My wife bought a boneless pork butt, and I wanted to do some thing a little different with it.

Not positive but I believe pancetta is just rolled cured belly,not smoked.

You're absolutely right Hoss. I was wanting to make it into Coppa, and was confused about the correct terminolagy until HFS cleared it up!

You can cure a boneless pork butt, then roll and tie, and make a rolled ham to roast. I do this for some church fund raiser dinners.

You can also cure boneless butts and smoke to make pulled ham sandwiches. Something different from time to time.
