Myron Mixon Butts

Davekatz

I'm on the cook to cook up 8 butts worth of pulled pork for a graduation party - 2 cooks of 4 butts each on a large BGE.

I've been hearing that Myron has a method for cooking his butts a little hotter so that I could do the butts in 8-10 hours, rather than overnight. I've done a fair amount of searching, but can't find any more info as far as times/temps/foiling/etc...

Does anybody have more insight into Myron's method?

Many thanks,

Dave

From what I've seen, he also injects them to almost twice their original size. :ohmy:

Misippi Egger

A secret injection solution, I'm sure.

so, is injecting a pork butt something i should try.

vidalia1

It is a personal preference...I do not inject mine...Myron does and he has won World BBQ Championships...I have not won anything...LOL...I don't compete either...

but you said try it...nothing ventured nothing gained... :P

maybe it's my technique, but everytime i inject something with something, it mostly just shoots back out the hole i'm going in or one of the previous. that's what happened when i did the injected ham that is a forum favorite.

i dunno. i guess there is a technique to it.

Even using the speed butt method, 8-10 hours for two consecutive butt cooks is optomistic IMO.

Davekatz

No, i don't see 2 cooks happening in an 8 hour window either. Might set some kind of land speed record doing that .

I hope to do one cook on Saturday and another cook the following Saturday. I should be able to get 4 butts on at a time. If I can get the cook time down to 5 hours or so I can cook, pull, and package all in 1 day. Leaving Sunday for lolling about.

There is no harm in doing the second half of the cook in the oven either.
Good Luck!

I inject mine. And then put a heavy layer of rub on the outside to make a good bark that complements the meat inside.

Jason,
It does make somewhat of a mess. I have gotten less messy the more I do it.

I inject one of the turkey injectable marinades (Creole Butter, etc). I usually about 1/2 bottle per butt. I now try to make less holes and inject more per "stick" by fanning out when injecting.

Like Chicken, I then apply a rub and immediately put on the Egg.
