Pork Butt Question

[chris1281982]

Yesterday I went out on a hunt to find a whole brisket which can normally be found at our local Wal-Mart well no luck even at 2 Wal-Mart's so we just got a ham and a pork butt. I peferr a boneless pork butt but they had only 1 left so I was in luck, there is not much fat on the butt, I would like to see more fat on the butt. What suggestion would you have maybe drape it with some bacon or some fatbacks? Or shall I just leave it.

thanks

I would just leave it, if it really is a pork butt the fat will be in it. Our Wal-Mart sells enhanced Tyson pork, I have to watch the salt when I use it.

Yep, if it is a butt, it should have enough internal fat to keep it lubed while cooking.

Fact is, I trim off any significant external fat from a butt anyway.
If I put rub on fat, it just renders off anyway.
Or, I wind up with spiced up fat which I remove when pulling.

Just my penny's worth.
