Rainy Day Pork Burnt Ends

Raining this morning so figured it was a good day to try some @SGH Pork Burnt Ends. Local store had County Style Ribs for $1.39 lb. Did a bit of trimming, cube'd them and bagged them overnight in the fridge with a little v oil and a lot of "It's My Rub Smooth Blend" for the sweetness. Will let them roll @ 250, on the LBGE, till I get an IT of around 170. Then pull them to cool a bit. Load them in a pan loaded up with a nice sweet Bourbon and Citrus BBQ sauce till they are tender!
Will post the finish later this afternoon!!

    The @SGH burnt ends recipe is a winner. I need to do this cook again and soon. Looking forward to seeing the end result, Hotch.

    Looking good!  I was wondering if it would work just as well to cube them up from the start instead of after they have smoked for a while.  

    Are you planning on injecting them with butter at any point?  


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    @SmokeyPitt I thought about it. Butt to damn lazy!
    I have the Smooth Blend Rub and also the Bourbon Citrus BBQ sauce going on later. This should provide for a multitude of flavors in the profile.

    They sound great.  I was also too lazy for the butter injection when I made them. I glazed them with a combination of BBQ sauce and peach preserves. My only complaint is I didn't make enough.

    Quick Update 1.5 hours in at 290-300 (Opps!)
    Looking great. IT is high at 198-200, still a bit tight.
    Will let it roll for another 30 min then into the sauce for a bit.

    This may turn out to be lunch! These little piggie bites are all in the BBQ sauce pool now. I figure lunch in about 45 minutes.

    I have only done pork burnt ends with a pork butt.  Interesting to see how they come out, this would be a little less in time.  Looks good so far.

    OK these are killer!! On at 9:30 am and eating at 12:30!! 3 Hours, incredible!!
    I will do these from now on. Just a bit overdone due to the temp going to 300 but all in all a good cook.
    Enjoy and thanks for looking...

    Off the Egg and cooling a bit



    Frigging outstanding!!!

    A little PSA:
    Temp Gauges
    Since my temp looked like it went high on this cook, I thought I should check the calibration. On all my Eggs.
    First I pulled the gauge on my large with the Pork Burnt Ends and popped in my thermopen. 
    Failed 60 degrees off!
    Next my MiniMax
    Failed 45 degrees off!
    Next my trusty 7 year old Mini
    Better 15 degrees off. 
    And yes I did all calibrations on the stove top with a rolling boil.
    All are set to 212, same as thermopen.

    Just do it !

    Since the burnt ends didn't take too terribly long, do you think you'll do some at an Eggfest?  I can't wait to try them!  That's crazy about all the temp gauges being off so much.  We'll check ours this weekend.

    @EggObsessed Possibly if I have 2 Eggs to use.
    Also the custom MiniMax Grids I ordered may be here on Monday, fingers crossed!!

    I did these for the first time on July 4th for a neighbors party and they were awesome! Not a piece left! I may never make pulled pork again. These things are just way too good.
