Pork Butt Baby Shower

Alright!  Time to BBQ for some other people.  We’re throwing a baby shower for some friends of ours, and one of the I’m going to bust out the pork butt recipe I used last time, and do it the same.

I got a 15 lbs butt from Costco again - it looks beautiful.  There’s a bunch of dry rub from last time leftover in the cabinet.

24 Feb 2018, 1420: Began trimming the pork (took out chunks, left layers of fat about 1/8" thick - leaving a little more fat than last time), and then salting it.  1/2 tsp per pound meat, so 2.5 Tbsp.  I cut the pork into three large pieces.

Third Smoking - Pork Butts and Salmon

I began prep on Sunday night with 16 lbs of pork butt split into three parts, and 5.5 pounds of salmon. I used the typical salmon recipe, this time I did one quart of brine and still separated things into 4 bags. I used this pulled pork recipe, and this dry rub recipe per Ben’s recommendation. The pulled pork recipe looked to be a reasonable beginner’s complexity, too… I considered this pork butt set to be just three of the one used in the recipe, so I had 1 cup of dry rub that I used on the three.
