  • Split Butt Method for Pulled Pork

    OK…here's my method for the "Split Butt". Advantages: Quicker cooking time, and less crap to remove at pulling time. Also, less fat runoff during the cook. And you get almost twice the "Barq"!

    Here's a BOB… Big Ole Butt… 9 pounder.



    Locate the fat vein..on the opposite side of the fat cap… you should be able to open it a bit by hand…



    Using your boning knife, seperate along the natural sniew/fat vein all the way to the blade bone end, and cut straight down at the bone end





    Start trimming off the spongy crap and sinew on both hunks





    And there ya have a cleaned up split butt. Try it…it makes things go alot smoother on the back end!

    Good advize Sir Hunky!! There certainly is a lot of "crap" in the meat for sure... and no need for it during the cook.

          It really makes the cook cleaner and the pulling ALOT faster... not dealing with the goopy stuff. PLUS... you get almost twice the "Barq"!

            Well, I've found that a clean cook is a happy cook... especially after a hot shower...

            Really good tut Rich!

                          Is the flavor affected by removing the gooey chit and fat before cooking?

                            Can't really think how... Yes..it tastes better because you back hurts less standing there an extra 10 mins tossing it out anyway!

                            And the more "barq" thing don't hurt either :{)
