Add a little Sweet Baby Ray's and that's fit to eat!
Have a good Labor Day!
Dang man, I thought we were friends!!!
We are, where are you?
At the house, just got back from staking the messed up lots I was telling you about.
Ok, I am not too smart, What is a Boston butt?
a cut of pork shoulder...
Yea, I know. Doesn't make any sense to me either.
Sorry, I thought that was common knowledge. As the saying goes, "I like pig butts and cannot lie!"
A VERY, VERY, tasty piece of meat if cooked properly. I have known Chris a long time, and I am pretty sure that it was some good eating!
Is it pork?
Yes. It is typically pulled from the bone, and used in making barbeque sandwiches.
Yes, it's pork. It has one small bone that will fall right out if it's cooked right. Makes good pulled pork sandwiches.
MmmmmTasty

Why is it called "Boston butt"?
If you ever met anyone from Boston you'd understand! It's sure NOT because we make so much of it around here! Of course the runner up name was "Chatham Butt", just ask apledeus!
I smoked a shoulder (Boston Butt) and two racks of ribs to take to the race this weekend. They were GOOOOOOD!!!! Now I'll be eating the left overs this week, and that's OK with me.

And I thought you had good taste until you mentioned that sauce.
:excruciating:

It appears that people from Boston have the most popular butts around!
I prefer Corky's but the store was out. I don't attempt to make my own, there are too many good ones out there for me to mess it up.
Why is it called "Boston butt"?
I've never known why it was called that. According to Wickipedia it has to do with the meat industry in Boston years ago shipping these particular cuts in containers called "butts".

Once you start to make your own, you'll see that store bought can't hold a candle to homemade.
Buy this book: Paul Kirk's Championship Barbecue Sauces: 175 Make-Your-Own Sauces, Marinades, Dry Rubs, Wet Rubs, Mops, and Salsas, not necessarily for the recipes themselves (although some are pretty good) but to understand the ratio & proportion of ingredients that makes a great sauce or rub.
Once you go homemade, you'll never go back. (Seriously good homemade BBQ sauce is to store-bought like homemade chili is to a can of Hormel.)
