Boneless pork butts?

Does anyone have any experience with boneless pork butts? That's all my Costco carries and was thinking about giving them a try but would love any of your opinions.

Ya we cook the costco boneless butts all the time, they're perfect!A couple of them we trussed up with butchers twine to keep together but for the most part they look great

i always cook BIBB. I have seen boneless butts on the forum and it looks like the concensus is to tie them up prior to the cook. they must have a tendency to fall apart. otherwise the same IMHO.LBGE, Marietta, GA

Do them all the time. I have been cutting them up into 4 or 5 fairly equal chunks. More surface area so more rub and more bark. Made the mistake once of buying bonelss sirloin roasts instead of boneless butts. Dryer than the butts and not as much flavor.XL BGE

I only do Costco boneless butts(no bone, no waste). I never tie them. When placing on the egg, I just position them as they came in the package. Perfect every time.

Awesome! Thanks all. I feel better about my sunday cook now

@Jamieoro - we are doing the exact same thing for our Sunday cook, and I +1 @Eggcelsior's observation.[Northern] Virginia is for [meat] lovers.

Yep, agree with most of the above. I've done bone in and bone out, prefer bone in but the Costco butts are a great deal.I've done them tied and untied. Untied is nice for quickness and extra bark, but the tied butts seem to cook a little more evenly and there's less risk in having it fall apart or have sections dry out.Give em a shot, you'll find they're well with the price.CheersB_BFinally back in the Badger State!

Plus whatever on the Costco Boneless that is all I do. I will be doing 2 more Friday. Here is how I do them, no tying for me._________________________________________________Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!Large BGE 2006, Mini Max 2014, 36" Blackstone, Anova Sous Vide

@saturdayfatterday nice! Will you do yours overnight? How long do you expect them to take? The bone-ins we have done in the past have taken 2+ hours a pound in some cases. Dome temp around 250.
-
@Jamieoro - I'm just doing a 5-6 pounder this time, so I'd guess somewhere between 10-14 hours Grid temp around 230. I'll probably rub down the butt the night before, then get up at 4am, start it up, and go back to bed, expecting it to be ready to take off and FTC between 2pm-6pm.
