    Pork Butt Weekend



    About 7 lbs of pork shoulder (why do they call it pork butt when it comes from the front shoulders?) went on the Big Green Egg at 8a this morning. Should be ready to pull about 7p this evening. I gave it a heavy dusting of Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom slathered in yellow mustard to make a nice bark with a little kick to it.

    More pictures coming, I presume? Plus, we need a "ride report" on how it tastes, with a tenderness chart.

        That looks delicious. I can almost taste it.

          Thanks, Pete. That's succinct and useful.

        Then added a few special ingredients while under high heat:



        Turned the heat down as low as it'll go and added the rest of the saucy ingredients (and poured myself a taste - it makes the sauce better):



        And finally, I removed my slow smoked creation from the oven to temp test it. Looking for it to feel like I'm poking the probe into a melted sack of butter and about 205 degrees internal temp. Check and check. Now the really hard part of the whole day - waiting.



        So now I'm sitting here with my glass of bourbon letting it rest for about an hour before it's unveiled. It's been over 2.5 hours since I've seen it but must resist the temptation to open it up before all those delicious fatty juices are reabsorbed.

        Another 45 minutes and a made from scratch corn bread goes into a stinkin' hot cast iron skillet.

          You need to wrap it in a towel and put it in an empty cooler/icebox to rest.

          Dahum Wes! That's some mighty fine looking pork BBQ... by the end of your video, I was wishing I was your next door neighbor!

          Nice job!

          I have a couple of neighbors that are friendly co-conspirators on serving up smoked treats and I'll end up passing along a couple lbs of this to them. At least a couple lbs of it will go into a next level Brunswick Stew. My kids swear that this stew will cure a cold and the flu.
