Title: Baby Boston Butt
Post by: Big Dawg on March 31, 2015, 06:47:58 PM
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.)

I could fill my freezer at those prices!!  BTW, love your drink of choice.  Enjoyed one tonight while cooking some lamb chops on the Weber.

Killer price and awesome meal.  Those would be prefect for a couple of people without having much in the way of leftovers!
