    I have cooked them frozen solid with ice on them before. With just a little trickery and mojo, no one can tell the difference.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    @SGH, you need to work on your trimming skills, especially around the MM  :-)

    It's untrimmed. It's also frozen rock solid.

    I recall husker doing one last year where he drilled a hole into it to get his probe to go in.

    Have done several frozen myself....  They came out of the deep freeze solid as a rock; and I'll tell ya, its tricky handling a frozen butt.  Hard part is getting the rub to stick.  I'm an EVOO or Peanut Oil guy; and that on a frozen butt makes for a slippery time!

    I had to wait a few hours before I could get my iGrill probe in; and it still was 28 degrees.....

    Haven't tried to turbo a frozen one yet......  That's next!
