Title: The one's for Phil
Post by: muebe on April 06, 2013, 11:29:51 AM
So in memory of Phil's passing I decided to make some butts using Awake-A-Steak. As Phil told me it is good on other things besides steak.

Started with a package of two boneless butts from Costco...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20130406_072010_zps0fd8ade3.jpg)

Appears that two turned into 5 small butts. Guess the butcher did not know when to stop cutting...

Time to break out the IG and Molasses...

Liberal coating of IG...

Now for Molasses...

Sounds great Muebe. I've never got a butt from Costco Jig sawed up like that. Hope that's not part of the new scheme of things Lately, Givem less but make it look like more and jack up the price  :)

These are going to be great

Q; any problems putting the AMZPS in while the smoker is in operation?

I haven't done a butt with it, but I use it on chops and it is a lot better on pork than it is on steak.  (And it's pretty darn good on steak.)

Once the AMZPS is properly lit the answer is no.

What a great deep color those took on. Are you worried about the bark getting soggy setting in the foil?

Nope... Molasses creates soggy proof bark ;)
I noticed that you put the molasses on after the IG. I've always thought it was a binder for the seasoning, like CYM.

Great looking butts

Good job Muebe.
I did some butts a while back where I only used molasses, nothing else.  They looked awesome and came out great.

It still gets mixed in as the molasses is rubbed all over the butt ;)
