[OLS]

This weekend I FINALLY pulled my head out of my azz long enough to realize
that the reason I rarely ever finish a Boston Butt is that I can't get the smoke
ring down into that huge chunk of meat. I love smoked pork, but that's alot
of pork that is just OK tasting. So barring a Cajun Injector, I just gave up.
Then I thought derh, cut it up into pieces. So I had a butt this weekend and
I cut 5 pieces about 5 inches long x 4 inches deep and wide and left the bone
in section as just a 5 or 6 inch cube. I arranged them out with a few pieces
of boudin blanc and let em smoke away. Came back after three hours and
re-established my coal pile and added more hickory chunks and went another
3 hours....In one word. Perfection. I am never cooking a butt whole again.
At least for my consumption. I waste so much meat, just because I love to
cook outdoors. I might cook a butt and two racks of ribs, and I am bored
with it after a few days, and it's just me eating it. Sometimes my landlady will
take a bunch, but like I said, I am cooking just for the pleasure in cooking.
Now at least I can cook a whole butt and eat it, too.
