Title: Low and Slow Boston Butt
Post by: urnmor on October 26, 2020, 08:08:52 PM
Made a Boston Butt on the 2 Star. It went on at midnight last night and came off at 1PM today, it rested for four hours wrapped in foil  until dinner.  A homemade lime cheesecake was dessert.

On the 2Star at 240 until it reached 198 Then pulled and wrapped it to let it rest for 3 plus hours until I was ready to pull and serve

 PLEASE don't do this. I salivate and get hunger pains when I see such a beautiful display.  Great post urnmor!

great looking bark!   Did you not wrap during the cook?  Rub or molasses?

I do not wrap when cooking Butts or briskets only my ribs.  I have found at least IMO that wrapping whether it be brisket or butts keeps the rub too moist.  I will spray the brisket during the cook but not the butt.  I do add a little apple juice to a bottom of an aluminum pan which I cook them over (fat drips in the pan and makes it easier to clean).  I have found the fat in the butt keeps its from drying out and very moist during the cook.

Great looking cook urnmor.  Love the idea of the lime cheesecake as well.  Glad I opened PF up after lunch today.  Hahaha.
