Ok, by now most of you have seen my ribticular test, now for my buttackular test. The same kind gentlemen (cough cough) who sent me the rub for my ribs, sent me a bottle of Carolina Treet and a bottle of Archer Farms Carolina Style Barbecue sauces. My goal is to see if the two are similar in flavor or at least close enough since I can't get CT out here. (I am having a hard time with Archer too). Next week I'll be smoking a butt and am too cheap to buy two, and don't think I could eat them both before they went bad anyhow. So my question to you all is should I cut the butt in half and use one for each sauce like a mini butt, or should I leave the butt whole and spread the CT on half the butt and Archer on the other half? The butt is 7.2 lbs. Polls close Tuesday.

Hmmm.... this seems like the perfect place to insert a comment about splitting a butt and cracks in butts and....I think I'll just leave it alone.

Split and you'll also benefit from shorter cook time.

Split it - but only once.  Smaller and they get harder to get to tender succulence before they dry out or overcook.

That was one of the things I was worried about. I wasn't sure if it would dry out. Speaking of which, since the majority so far are voting for doing the split. Should I pull the bone, or saw it in half?

Yep, but I figured as long as I was cutting, I could just scoop it out, but am thinking I might want to saw it to help keep the meat together.

I have deboned them and just tied them back up with butchers twine.

KevinG

Well, votings over an I guess the split the butt's won out. I kinda got lazy and just took the saw to the butt. I'll get some pics up tomorrow, I'm burned out from work.

I know that feeling.  I put in about an 11 hour day at work yesterday.  Luckily, my wife had a pound of bacon fresh out of the pan waiting for me when I got home.  That will brighten anybody's day.

Me and the wife are one in the same, I call her my left hand.  :o :o

So when you are mad at her, you put your hand in your back pocket?

If you get a divorce, you have to cut off your hand?

That's scary!
