Anyone ever make burnt end using a pork butt?
If so would you cook fisrt then cut into chunks then recook? Or would you cut the butt up into 1 inch cubes then cook?
I've made pork belly burnt ends, but not with pork butt. I used skinless bellies and cut them into 1" cubes, seasoned, and smoke/cooked until tender. Remove from smoker, place them in an aluminum pan, sauce them up and continue to cook until the sauce caramelizes (single layer; making sure you leave a little space between pieces). Remove from the smoker, and hit them with some finishing rub. It would probably be the same method using pork butt.
Thanks Hab, I'll try some this weekend to see how they do
