What to do? Slice of butt

THEBuckeye
Posts: 4,232
I've got approx 1 pound of butt in the freezer. Last butt I did was larger than I wanted to cook so I sliced off approx 1 pound, 2" wide piece of butt for later.
Now is later. Not sure what to do.
I've already "put a fork it" (as a preemptive strike).

I'm with @DMW here. Easy to do. Here's a @SGH forum recipe from a couple of years ago that you can modify:
"Simply cook the butt to 160 degrees internally in your normal cooking manner. I prefer indirect at 275 degrees. When the internal hits 160 remove it from the smoker and cut the butt into 3/4x3/4 cubes and transfer the cubes to an aluminum pan. When using pork, try to limit the cubes to no larger than 1x1. I prefer 3/4x3/4 as they seem to crisp up better but 1x1 will work also. Resist the urge to bump the temp up. Leave it at 275 degress and continue to smoke the cubes until they reach the COLOR that you prefer. Don't even concern yourself with their internal temp as its irrelevant. Cook them to appearance and taste. This usually takes about 1 and 1/2 hours depending on how well you maintain temp. When colored to your satisfaction, enjoy some truly outstanding burnt ends my friends."

A small batch of Carnitas would be a tasty snack...
