Fat cap...

Do you cut the fat cap off a butt when its finished cooking? I felt like I had too much fat in my pulled pork.

Trim it first, then you'll have no issue. Leave some, about 1/4".Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

Trim to 1/4 inch or so before you put on your rub. Then if cooking until done the majority of the remaining fat should render nicely.Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

I take it off before the cook and enjoy more bark.

As with most things BGE, many approaches. Next time try with less cap and see how it goes. Just cook til the bone pulls clean.
