Full Fledged Farker
I've searched past threads, but haven't found anything on the topic.
My buddy and I are currently having a debate around whether or not to tie a pork butt. I've never seen this done before (including tons of posts on here with pictures of pork butts), but his theory is that it keeps the meat more "streamlined" so that the outside doesn't cook much faster than the middle, or it makes a "meat block that cooks evenly."
I'm all ears, but my initial instinct says there's no need to tie - unless the piece of meat is not holding together and it needs to be tightened up a bit.
Whaddya think Brethren?
