I have a Big Butt !! But the wife says  I have no butt at all.

Lovely pic of your butt PigOut :o ;D ;)

I would say you'll be looking at  10-12 hours maybe longer? to get the butt to 190 IT + FTC all depends on conditions etc, anyway looks a lovely cut of meat you have there  ;)

I've got 6 racks of ribs in the BS atm, got 2 briskets that will have cured by this evening ready to prepare for pastrami, and got a large turkey crown brinning  ;D

Trouble is, i'm very low on wood, oversight on my part, should just have enough to get through Easter  ;D

I see that butt is big.Just a lil tip next time when picking out your butt lol.See if you can find a nice heavy fat top cap.I see that one is half and half.Butts with a nice full fat cap are really nice and seem to work a bit better when cooking the fat melts more even when driping down the sides and around the butt..Just my 3 cents worth.I do like the size and the marble look.Good luck

That's interesting that you mentioned this Rat, as i was going to ask if all butts are sold this way on your side of the pond?
In the u.k. they usually come with the fat and rind still in place, i have done some with the rind left on, i had to heavily score the rind, but the finished job was very moist and tender. The last few i've done, i've removed the rind as this limits how much rub can be applied, but i leave a nice thick fat cap, and they're delicious! ;)

Anyway from my local butcher this is typical of how a shoulder/butt would be bought from him:

Got my butt sealed and ready for smoke on sunday.
My son called me from Afgn, His buddy asks him if my wife sends your dad some $$ for some of that gm jerky would he make it for me. I told my son dont take no $$ from him, Tell him its in procces for him, from me to him.  ;D

Nice Butt!  ;D

I did two 4 to 5 lbers a couple of weeks ago with a tower temp of 200 and it took about 21 hours to reach 195.

I like more of a fatcap too but they only had 2 there. This one was the best. A liitle bacon above it should help out plus I can munch on the bacon.

Think I'm gonna do an overnight smoke.

Hey Nepa,
  Do you boat your butts after they hit 160 ?  Anybody ?

[Wildcat]

Not me.  No need.

[LilSmoker]

I love doing the overnighters, waking up to the smell of smoked pork mmmm!

PigOut, i always leave my butts in the BS until IT hits 190, then it's FTC for at least 2 hours  ;)

Hey Nepa,

I have before but found that if i inject good enough i dont have to. I inject with apple cider.
BTW i'm using the rub you sent me on my butt  ;D
