Pork Butt on the MAK...
« Reply #-1 on: April 29, 2013, 06:47:52 AM »
I just got another 15lbs of ground Elk last week for sausages, so I needed some room in the freezer.
 
Here we go...
5.90lb butt with CYM and seasoned with Tee's Fine Swine & Bovine. Onto the MAK.
Pic shows fat cap up, but I flipped it prior to closing the lid. Ran this at 225 degrees.


Here we are at 160.


Added 1/2 cup of beef stock, double wrapped in foil and back on @250. Pulled at 202.
Happy happy..


Clean bone.


Very moist and easy to pull. Bear claws were not necessary but I used them anyways.


My plate.


No slaw, was too tired to run out and get some.  ::)

Final notes: I should have did a better job at trimming the fat cap. Next time I will trim all of the fat cap off and run it all the way without the crutch. And I'll make sure to get the slaw too.  ;D

Looks good.  I can live without the slaw (not saying I don't like slaw) as long as you have tots.  ;)

I am thinking the same. Folks seem to like the hard bark.
