Getting a little practice today for my first GBA comp in Sept. I picked up a couple of butts yesterday at Sam's. I wasn't real happy with the money muscle on these but they were the best one in the case.

The money muscle just hit 188 so I cut them off and put them in the cambro for later. I just added the ribs.

The ribs were way over cooked. I usually do spare ribs but tried baby backs this time. I think I'm going back to spare ribs.:doh:
 
In GBA, pork must be cooked as a single piece of meat. If you remove the money muscle, you cannot return the rest of the butt to the cooker.
 
The pork box looks like a 10. Just be sure if you put in tubes there are at least 6 of them. Need to get the glaze on the loin more even.
 
Thanks for the advice. I will definitely work on getting the glaze more even on the loin. I didn't realize you could not separate the money muscle once it was done. I have only done a few FBA events and you can separate it once the muscle is fully cooked but I know you can't cook it separately from the rest of the butt.
