High Heat Pork Butts...WSM Method...

[Fat Woody]

Does cooking them in the pan affect the smoke flavor?

I think I saw Johnny Trigg using pans when he cooked his butts in one of Pitmasters episodes. I've done a few butts in pans and, depending on your cooker, you can get a really nice browned fat cap. Almost bacon-like, one might say. Applied "Trigg-onometry"?

And hey! Fine lookin' grub there brother JD!

"sugar maple" is that the tree's that they tap to make maple sugar from?I don't think I have ever heard of them before.

Looks great JD!! I love maple wood with pork. How many chunks did you use with the hot, and fast method?

Thanks Brian...2 fist sized chunks...

Looks great! On one of my recent high heat brisky experiments I added a couple of bone-in butts on the lower rack, and it was some of the best pulled pork I've done. Great bark and smokey flavor.

JD I run the maple tree's through my fire place for heat.I didn't know it could be used for smoking meats.

Man...it's probably like weeds in your neck of the woods! Kinda like Alder is here...:lol::lol::lol: Toss a couple of chunks on with your next rib or butt smoke...it's pretty good!

Great, informative thread, John. How did the flavor profile of the high heat butt compare to a low and slow one?

 

[eclipse507]
