Title: 2 Pork Butts- Bone In, 17+lbs
Post by: Golfer1659 on July 14, 2021, 09:12:43 PM

Doing 2 pork butts for my block party.  They are bone in.  Total weight before trimming and prep is over 17 pounds. 

I plan on trimming the fat cap and doing no wrap until I am ready to pull them.  I am going to start probing them at 195+ degrees and judging them to see if I pull at 205 or before.

I will be using 5-6 ounces of Hickory.

I use yellow mustard and just some random rub I picked up for this smoke.....

Sounds like a good plan. I traditionally do my butts fat cap down to keep the cleaner side somewhat protected from the direct heat. And the clean side is what gets the rub. Just the way I do it.

I have always done fat cap up, I like how is melts into the meat after I have trimmed it thin
