Title: Pit Boss Pork Butt
Post by: CP on April 24, 2022, 10:49:18 AM: My 1st attempt.

It's been in since 4:00am (almost 7 hours) @ 225. Temp in now 145, bark is hard, fat is just starting to goo up.

What now? Wrap in foil, leave it as is? Turn up the temp? Final temp should be ?

Smells great, the whole neighborhood can smell it. :chuckle:

Cook until you have an internal temp of 204*F that’s the point where the muscle and all other fibers break down well. Let rest for and hour once at 204 and wrap with a beach towel or other large towel.

Or put in a dry cooler, close that lid. Let 'er rest.

Post by: CP on April 24, 2022, 12:03:10 PM: Okay, thanks for all the advice. 158 degrees, don’t have any apple juice so I used some apple cider vinegar, double wrapped in foil and I’ll finish it in the oven at 300.

Now I need some coleslaw.

Very disappointed in myself for not thinking of this myself at some point in my life up to this point... :P

...on the other hand, Pianoman just gave me a reason to go buy a pork butt for next weekend... :tup:

Post by: Rick on May 01, 2022, 04:01:38 PM: Don’t be afraid to crank up the heat. I’ve done butts at 300 degrees when I’m in a hurry. Finished product isn’t much different than 225-250. I never foil and pull at 195 and let rest

Think Safeway had them on special for around 1.50 a pound. Would be a cheap and tasty experiment.
