Title: Back to Basics Butts
Post by: squirtthecat on September 15, 2012, 10:29:08 AM

I've been fooling with a lot of 'dumpster rubbed' and Sriracha/Molasses butts, and some of them turn out pretty good.   My experiment last weekend w/ the Rib Candy stuff was a total flop.  Tasted like roast pork.  I bagged it up and gave it to the cafeteria lady for using in beans and the like.    Mrs asked that I make it "like I used to".

Awrighten!

Cleared the kitchen last night while I mixed up a few cups of SLC.    Used Tabasco Mustard for the glue. (just a mild heat in it, and the bottle was nearby)   Next time I'll use a finer grind pepper.  That was a bag of Tellicherry pepper from Penzey's.

Popped them in around 8:30 last night.  Frozen solid.  Dark and chilly out.   Traeger running at 225°. (more like 250°)

Flash forward to 8:45 this morning.

A fiery bark that will be perfect when it is mixed in with the rest of the pork.

I'll pull them in a few hours for some *proper* pulled pork sammies.

T'anks for lookin'.

When I have tried to get all fancy and the results are less than stellar, I go back to rule#1: the KISS rule:

 "KEEP IT SIMPLE SMOKEASAURUS"

Those butts perfect to me Squirt!

Nothing wrong with being creative just remember not to experiment with such large batches of food ;)
