Guys, y'all will destroy the best part of meat on a pork butt if you score the fat.
It's still the best I have ever had.

Reserve some of the liquids afterwards put thru a fat separator and add back in when I pull the meat apart.


This is the key. Reintroduce that some of that juice and reseason as you pull.

I score mine as well and it comes out great.

I think I smoked one using snake method on Weber kettle for 4th. We are doing pizzas with some tonight.

IMO you can do or not do a lot to a butt and it’ll be fine.

BUT, that fat cap is often pretty dense. What I do is trim in in slices, maybe about half way thickness, and score the rest, and put those slices on the other side to melt down and flavor that side too. Plus you end up with succulent fat snacks if you’re so willing.

You think you did? How much did you drink on the 4th?

Not a drop, wasn’t sure if using briquettes and wood chips was considered smoking in this elitist crowd.
