That wet rub looks great! Mind sharing?

Not my idea, I watched a segment on the American Royal a few nights ago. What I did was sprinkle a coating of rub and lightly sprayed a fine mist of AJ the night before and then repeated the process in the morning. :wink:

Looks good. How did you like the trimmed butt?

Big difference! :-D Much less waste of Bark and a lot easier to get ready for serving by having so much less gel to remove. I will always trim from now on.

.88 cents a pound. Man, those don't show up around here. .99 cents but rare. Good looking meat, I like those eggs, just need to save my money.

 

[bigabyte]

So you added chopped pecan to your dry rub then?

 

[71-South]

That looks great, Terry. We had CSRs and pork steaks on sale at the local Price Chopper this weekend for 99¢ per pound. I bought about 20 lbs and Food Saved all but dinner tonight.

Are those stars in the first picture?

 

[jimdandysnyjim]

Thats looks real good

Nice looking butt, was it raining in the first picture, looked kinda like snow, then I checked where you live..........probably not snow!

 

[billygbob]

I'd eat a sandwich or five of that!

 

[sfisch]

Good looking piece of meat! Saw the .88 too, just got some at Kroger for .99 last week but thats the lowest I've ever seen it.

Hey Terry! Where the heck did ya score the butt at .88? C'mon man, I share those steal prices, ya gotta help a brother out!

Good job on the butt, hope you enjoyed.

 

[Phesant]

UMMMM Great Looking Butt

 

[dedmete]

That looks yummy. Quick Q, why trim the fat? I've always left it on and on "top". Thought it was supposed to render through the meat, in turn making the butt even juicier?

looks great, thanks for the finishing sauce recipe. t

Gotta love pulled pork. Looking dang good. I love that citrus tree in the background. I raid my uncle's lemon tree when we visit him in Gilbert. Nothing beats a fresh lemon or orange right off the tree.
