Rubbed with Plowboy's Yardbird rub, and smoked over peach chunks at 275 to an IT of 165. Pulled, sliced, cubed, sauced, re-rubbed, and back on the Egg to get happy for almost 2 hours.

Pork candy!

    Winner! Winner!  Pork Burnt Ends Dinner!  Just doesn't have the same flare as Chicken but it's probably tastier. 
    I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

    I never took the IT of the finished pieces. I sliced and cubed the shoulder at 165 and just eyeballed and tasted the pieces until I deemed them done.

    My brother, I think I saw this post somewhere else ;)
    However it's one of those that I can look at again and again. For stepping up to plate and knocking it out of the park:

    Looks great but to be in the style of @SGH you must inject the cubes with melted butter. ;)

    As @SmokingPiney, said you don't really worry about IT when you do pork burnt ends.  I have done these a couple times and I also shoot for 165 to 170 IT, pull, let sit for about 20 minutes to let juices come back in.  Cube them up, sprinkle on a little more rub and sauce of choice.  Put them back on for about 2 hours and you are good to go.  My wife likes these a lot better then pulled pork so haven't done pulled pork in a long time.  I want to try this with pork belly which someone did on here.  I bet those are fantastic.

    @Ladeback69, I think pork belly would be incredible cooked this way.

    Looks good. I like Yardbird rub a lot. I assume you cubed the whole thing? Would it be quicker to cut the starting butt in 1/2 or 1/4 pieces and then smoking it to start with?

    Thanks. I did cube the entire shoulder. The small shoulders I use are in a net, so I've never tried cutting them into smaller pieces for the smoke. I imagine it would cook faster cut into smaller pieces.

    Man those look great.  @Hotch posted a cook and he cubed them up from the start. 

    http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1197246/rainy-day-pork-burnt-ends 

    That is another option if you want to speed up cooking.  In the original recipe @SGH posted he mentioned using country style ribs from the shoulder (strips of boston butt).  

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

    I started out with "Country Style Ribs". They can cut from either the Butt or the Loin.
    Be careful if using the Loin Style, is will typically be both light and dark meat. Basically the Lion Style is a Pork Chop and very, very, lean!
    Not to forgiving if over cooked.
    I cooked both types a while back in Austin with Kelly and Bruce and I would much rather have the protein from the Pork Butt.

    I did some recently in much the same way. Had some leftover pork tenderloin, and wondered what to do with it. Cubed to about 1 inch, soaked in BBQ sauce for a couple hours, then put on the outside of the grill at 225 for an hour. Added more wood for additional smoke. Turned over and moved to the center of the grill, raised to 325 for 45 minutes. A bit more "burnt" looking than the OP, but my wife thought they were the best she has ever had.

    My cook is @SGH's recipe (just add your own smoke wood). It's bullet proof.  =)

    I posted the thread on the Smoke Ring about 2 years ago. I shared the technique here on the forum on someone's thread. However I do not remember who's thread that it was. I'm wanting to say I posted it on one of Hotchs threads. But I could be wrong. The only difference in my method and the above method is I inject the cubes with Land O Lakes butter before putting them back on the smoker.

    @SGH...well, I guess you just have to make them again!  

    A butter injection?  :open_mouth::ohstop:  I don't think that's even legal...   Wow.  They must really taste like pork candy.

    Here goes my attempt
    No problem getting up to temp on MM. Stock grate, wish i had KAB. 3 Chunks of applewood with a water pan spaced by aluminum foil balls to prevent burning of the fatty goodness. I also scored the fat side and slapped the butt on the grill fat side down. Will pull when bark is lookin crisp and then cubed/sauced

    @SGH I tried the butter injection on a few. My technique was wrong I guess. I started with warm butter and every time time I did the inject it solidified! So you need to be quick with the butter. I picked up 4 lbs. of county style ribs and plan to do a few more this weekend. I may inject with butter and other stuff. I have some Tabasco Honey I might try.

    No offense all, but this thread hijack somewhat amuses me............... ;)

    If I would have foreseen this, I probably would not have posted this. 

    I have learned a lesson with this post: I will not post cook pics here any more.

    They just get hijacked or ignored.

     It all still eats good to me and my circle, so..................no biggie

    I would consider it an honor to have other compare their cook to mine.  that's just me.


    I've got the country ribs smoking right now....  Might post it later on.
