What's up with my Butt?

[Toney Marconi]

I've never seen a Butt look quite like this.

almost looks like a small dog

Bound with string, it's in the kettle right now:

Was it a boneless butt?....thats probably why it looks like that, it is usually tied up so it looks like a normal butt and it cooks evenly

 

[Toney Marconi]

Was it a boneless butt?

No sir. It haz bone!

 

[wnkt]

That is pretty weird then

 

[Jason TQ]

I think that is the new “Origami Pork” the Japanese are developing.

[Toney Marconi]

Whatever the hell it is, it is cooking lightning fast on the micro-UDS.

I'm cooking it at around 250 with the occasional spike as high as 290. It's been on for about 3 hours and it's already pushing 200 IT in places. It is a weird piece of meat indeed.

OK, I'm predicting this guy is gonna be probe tender within the hour. What am I gonna do until dinner. If I triple wrap it in foil and put it in a pre-warmed really insulated cooler, how long can I keep it there? And then what? It should be ready to come off around 11:00 and I don't plan to eat dinner until 6:00 or so.

The "Little Doggie" came out OK.

I see those from time to time, just a really well trimmed bone-less butt. They make some good food anyways.
