A Butt of an experiment!

Chrisinhouston

Running an experiment on Pork Butt Roast cooking. I put 2 on the BGE this morning, each in the 5-6 lb range. One was rubbed with a rub with a mix of kosher salt, blk pepper, dry garlic and mustard, cummin and corriander. I smeared honey mustard on first, then the rub.

The other had a mix of Old Bay, garlic, ginger, paprika, salt and pepper but I went a little asian with some soy and Chinkiang vineagar to make a paste.

It is raining and chilly (48 F) and I have the BGE at about 300F for a few hours and then will wrap the meat in foil and cook at 200-225 for the remainder of the day. I'm not cooking to pull, just to slice and serve.

I'll post some pics later. I plan to give one Butt to my neighbor tomorrow, he lives alone now as his wife is in a nursing home.

That's a nice thing to do for your neighbor.

Where in Houston? It was clear here in Spring this morning. And 65° out now. Perfect day.
