I have a question for the Brethren about some pork butts that I have. I have 4 butts that I pulled out of the freezer for a comp this weekend...now these butts were bought when I concentrated solely on the money muscle size and didn't know much about the "bacon". All of the fat caps have a pretty good gash in them exposing some of the bacon...has anyone, or is it even legal to, use a trimming from the butt to cover this gash to try and protect the exposed bacon?
I trim pretty aggressively so I was thinking of taking a piece of fat and covering the gash using toothpicks...but don't know if this is allowed or not? Or am overthinking the whole thing and just need to cook it how it is?
