Pork Butt Question

matwell · October 04, 2008, 04:16:16 PM

I rubbed down a large pork butt yesterday around 6pm with the renowned mr. brown recipe from smoke and spice. I had to work today unexpectedly and have not had a chance to smoke the butt. My question is do you think the butt has been sitting in the fridge too long with rub? My concern is it might taste more like ham? What do you guys think? Thanks for your help!

I don't think you have anything to worry about. There is no cure in that rub so I don't see how you would get a ham flavor in it. If anything the spices may be stronger but once you pull the butt I'm sure it will be great.

Some guys here will rub up the meat 2 days early. I think you'll be just fine, and might actually benefit from the extra time.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out

Thanks Guys for your help. I am sure you guys are probably right. I started it up last night and it is still cooking. I use the Bradley for the whole cooking process. With the Auber Pid it seems the cooking times have improved dramatically.

What settings do you use with the Auber? I'm doing one on Saturday and would like to try something proven. Obviously, when it's done it's done so I don't expect a specific time range, just a general idea of what temperature you're running at and what kind of times you're seeing would be nice to know ahead of time.

Matt,
Leaving the rub on extra time probably just insures a really good bark on the butt. You're in for some good food!
