Hi all,
I've got a decent stockpile of Boston Butt pork roasts that I fill the chest freezer with whenever they go on sale locally for $0.99/lb....and I'm thinking that might be my next target of opportunity on the new offset smoker.
One complaint I have always had with doing the whole butts is...while the texture is great and flavor is good....they just never seem to have enough smoke flavor to me.
I guess I like a bit of a medium aggressive smoke flavor in all my BBQ....
Back years back when I had my bandera vertical smoker...I tried a few times where I figured more surface area on the butt roast might help get more smoke flavor in there.
And it seemed to help. I would split it in half butterflied lengthwise along the bone, usually exposing one side of the. bone so that I'd get almost double the surface area to the smoke.
I was thinking of doing that to my next one.
Have ya'll done this and if so, what's your thoughts?
Pro's vs Cons's?
What is your method if you do this?
Thanks in advance,
cayenne
