Just some butts

[squirtthecat]

Smoking backwards today.   Starting in the morning and pulling at night.

Frozen solid.   



We'll check back later..

Hey Squirt!

How much time do you think it adds to the cook - starting with the pork still frozen?

[Hub]

I'm going to be watching this, too.  I've never cooked butts from frozen.

It only adds a couple hours at the most.  And I'm running at a higher temp as well.  Just over 255°.

I have done the butts from a frozen state on my pellet grills without any issues. I learned it from Squirt

I start mine at 225F then bump it up once they are thawed.

Nice! Watching this one!

[deestafford]

Gonna be watching this as I've never seen it done before.  Of course, since muebe has done it before I know it'll be all right.  Dee

Does putting them in frozen help keep the temp down in the cooker so you get more initial smoke??

First time I ever seen that, was posted from Squirt. Thought he was CRAAAAAAZY! Butt they always come out looking great.

[squirtthecat]

Yeah, I think they get more smoke this way.  (they just turn out 'better', hard to describe)  Frankly, I just don't have room in the fridge for 30+ pounds of butts, so into the freezer they went.    

I slather and rub them right on the Traeger while it is heating up.

Fat side down.

Love it. Perfect for the guy....me....who forgets to thaw things out sometimes.

I often cook BB ribs frozen. It's great for a last minute cook.

I also will be watching to see how you like the frozen idea.  I sure do because it is nice to spread the work out over a couple of days.

Did three butts from the fridge freezer in my post "Three Butts, Three Rubs and Frozen" and it did not make much a difference in time but we think we got more smoke flavor.  Need to see squirtthecat's results.

I applied the rub and the injection the day before and put em in the fridge freezer, not the deep freeze, so they were lightly frozen.

Will check in later for squirtthecat's final and I bet it will be good.

Also have done this with Tri-tips

Following Squirt's lead, I have done butts and turkey boulders frozen with good results. They do take on more smokeflavor.
