Has anyone thrown a Boston butt into the crawfish pot after the crawfish is done?

I think im going to try it out next time I have a boil. Just curious if anyone else has tried it and how long they boiled it.

Cut the but up into large 2" square chunks to increase the surface area and it'll both cook faster and take more flavor.

Just make sure to soak it for 30 minutes when you’re done

We did this once with a frozen pork loin. It turned out being really good. Didn’t plan to do it and I have no idea how long we let it roll but it was still intact

No, but I've done a corned beef that way at a crawfish cooking comp. and you had to have something totally different to add after the boil to add to the pot.

So I did one of those store bought corned beefs already seasoned and ready to cook.

Came out great. A Boston Butt would take a hell of a lot longer due to the size of the chunk of meat if put in whole. I'd rather smoke that bugger.

Sounds great until I start thinking about all the dirt and junk in the water from boiling the crawfish.

Think I'd just roast in the oven and then season with boil spices once pulled.

That’s gonna be a dirty butt after soaking in that dirty crawfish water.

Just go to any gas station in North Baton Rouge if you want boiled meat.

Would dusting be allowed in this instance?

Sous vide for 72 hours and then sear in rolling crab boil.

Make sure to purge it with salt first, I’m sure that’s the secret.

I have.
Twice.

Came out delicious both times.
Took around 45 min though.
Super salty, obv.

Never a butt. Done quite a few loins, chickens, even turkeys like this.

I'd cube it or use a thermal probe to pull at 196.
