hey, I have been dabbling again and had some thoughts - or questions. I was watching some butt videos and some new techniques (remember, my moments of glory were before the money muscle craze so we just turned in pulled pork) and saw one team on youtube from Montana, I think, separate the Money Muscle before the butt was fully done, while another video by Soo where he was cooking a boned butt and he was leery of the money muscle falling off because there was only a tiny shred of meat holding it on.
Jogging my memory I remember a discussion on here where y'all were discussing a proposed change in the rules that read something like "pork butt must not be separated until it is "cooked." Since that one video they cooked it until the MM reached 165 THEN separated it and continued to cook BOTH separately, I wondered at what point KCBS specified "cooked" to be if they did.
Or perhaps they were under different rules entirely. Maybe even the videos were produced at different times where the rules were different. Many of you will of course probably assume its cooked at 165 and that would be a given but if we remember our cooking temp chart its Internal Temp PLUS time that determines that; not just temp.
I tried to ask Soo but I got the cut and paste "see my 30 videos to get your black belt in butt" response. LOL
