    This is first on my list once we get back from Porkopolis this weekend.

    Scottie I may have to give you a call, if you don't mind.

    Are you cooking at Porkopolis?  The wife and I will be in attendance this weekend as well.  I'll try to find and introduce myself to as many as possible.

     No we are flying in Friday morning. We want to check it out to possibly drive up and cook next year. Just look for the guy with a Longhorn cap. I  wouldn't think there would be than one or two of us there.

    There are websites about anything these days.  When researching country style ribs, I found this site; "Country Style Ribs".  This guy loves his country style ribs.  So, I wanted to be sure I'm picking up the correct cut, which type do you like?  If I can find the "pork steaks" cut, I think I'll get those, which are sliced pork butt.

    I am pretty sure that is what you want- the kind that are from the shoulder.  The loin style would be too lean.  

    @Dyal_SC - did you cube these up before you started or did you cook them for a while still in "strips"?  

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

    @500 , the ones sliced from the butt are what you want.  @SmokeyPitt , I cooked them intact until they hit 170ish.  Then I took them off, let them rest for about 30 min, and then cut them to shape.  Threw them back on to finish up after that.

    Dude, that looks awesome! I need to try this ASAP. 

    Great use of the boneless pork ribs over the traditional brisket. I refuse to pay over $7 a pound for brisket to make burnt ends.

    Great looking cook @Dyal_SC ! I was looking for the @SGH info a while back but couldn't find it. I need to give these a go!
    I'm glad that everyone enjoys the pork burnt ends. I have been wanting and meaning to do a how to post since I shared the method quite sometime back. However due to work it hasn't panned out. May try it this weekend if it's nice weather. 
    Please do, i would love to make these while my brisket is resting in the cooler. :)

    I'm doing PBEs this Saturday, for the first time, and for a 3 family get together.  Mrs. 500, says, "Wha?  Not pulled pork?"  I sez, "No, like pulled pork, but yummier."  She's skeptical, and sez "Why make it more complicated?" and I sez, "Because it will be yummier, like porky nuggets of goodness."

    My son calls these "Meat Candy" and has requested that I cook them for his belated birthday dinner.  It's an awesome cook.  Worth the effort!

    @ChristinaSunshine , absolutely. The pork burnt ends idea derived from brisket burnt ends.  :)  If you've never made them, definitely give them a go.  It's made out of the brisket point.  My favorite part of a whole packer brisket.

    This conveniently popped up right as I'm about to stick a butt on. Just gotta remember this so I can do it tomorrow.

    May be a dumb question but is there a certain part of the butt I need to slice to make the burnt ends or do I just slice off a chunk and cube it? I know you use the point when doing them from a brisket but what about this?

    Any part of the butt, sir.

    Thread revival:
     I am cooking for a large party tomorrow so I am smoking some pork butts for pulled pork and burned ends and will cook up some baby backs tomorrow after I pull the butts. I will be cooking on a large with the AR combo and a mm. I am just trying to figure out the timing for making burned ends. Based on the posts by @SGH it looks like you pull them at 160-170 and then cut em up. Does anyone know about how long it take to get to that temp?

    @dukecush - first up, welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.
    You may want to trade the pork butt burnt ends for pork belly burnt ends.  Much easier and pack a great flavor and texture profile.
    Here's a link to a recipe that lends itself to the BGE:
    http://howtobbqright.com/2017/04/17/pork-belly-burnt-ends/  Wherever you land, enjoy the cook and eats.

    I just made pork burnt ends last week for my sons birthday.  Used country style pork ribs.  They got to 160 in about 90 minutes @ 265.  Cubed then into aluminum tray with bbq sauce and a batch of APL Melting Garlic Sauce.  Smoked at 265 for another 2hrs. till 195-200 IT.  They were awesome!!
    Hope this helps.

    @55Kevy-
    At the risk of the obvious,  give this post a look (two above yours on this thread)

    May help answer your ?
