My sister found a deal at her local Teeter in New Bern, NC. A bunch of small Boston Butts on sale for 79¢ a pound . . . . that’s right 79¢ ! ! ! All of them were under 4 lbs. She picked up all ten that they had in case and brought them to me.
I figured that these little guys would be great for a Sunday afternoon cook for a small group, like me, my girlfriend, daughter and son-in-law. Today's entry was a little over 3 1/2 lbs.
I put it on at 1:00 and cooked it for 5 hours with Little Man running between 240º - 275º.
About halfway through, I threw some hot Italian sausages on just to see how they'd turn out.
At 6:00, the Baby Butt had an IT of 178º, so I wrapped it and popped it into a 300º oven for an hour.
While it was in the oven, we took a little break with a nice cocktail, one of those sausages, and some toasted cheese raviolis . . .
Pulled it from the oven at 7:00 and let it rest while the steak fries and roasted corn ready. Then I started on the Baby Butt, it pulled very easily.
(
By the way, as far a frozen corn goes, this Baja Roasted Corn from Sam's is about the best.)
Mangia ! ! ! !
