Boston Butt on my Weber Silver Genesis?
I know this grill aint great for low & slow, but I got a good deal on a
4lb BB today and won't get a smoker til' Christmas. I'm thinking I'll use the same technique I do on my briskets: 5 hours of indirect heat with smoke then 5 hours in the oven in foil. Good? Would 325 be a good target temp? Thanks, Mike |

I would shoot for about 250 degrees...until the internal temp is 195. I've done ribs, butts and brisket on my Weber gas grill and they came out okay. Now I've also got a Weber Smokey Mountain...so I use it. Very easy to use and maintain temperature...it's hard to screw up when using a WSM. |

Boston Butt on my Weber Silver Genesis?
I have smoked on the Genesis in this fashion as someone suggested on this NG
sometime ago. Smoke with either the front or back burner on only. Place chunks of wood wrapped in foil on the flavorizer bars over that burner. Place your brisket either forward or backward, and rotate meat 180 degrees at whatever interval you choose. I use an oven thermometer find the front/back burner configuration that will give the lowest temp. I'm able to get the temp. down to 225F this way. It doesn't work as well as the vertical charcoal smoker. It does allow you to smoke, and to "set it and forget it."

Thanks for the replies.
It was a very busy weekend so I ended up putting it in the crock pot and we made Cuban ropa veija, which is extremely yummy. Recipe: http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/7035/ropavieja.html Mike |

Speaking of Boston Butt
A few folks have suggested smoking Boston Butt. I haven't seen one in a
local grocery store in quite some time. Safeway is having it's recurring "million pound pork" event, so I went in to get some country-style ribs and look for a Boston Butt. None to be found. I asked the butcher and he told me the shoulder blade roast was the same cut. I looked at my reflection in a mirror and thought about it... my shoulder is nowhere near my butt, and nothing like my butt. Next stop was at City Market (a Kroger affiliate). They had a roast labeled shoulder blade roast/butt. So, evidently butchers think of the shoulder as a butt. I'm confused. Any hints on pork cuts? Is the shoulder blade roast the same as a butt? Thanks, Mike |

As they should, since it is both the end and the larger piece of the foreleg. butt –noun 1. the end or extremity of anything, esp. the thicker, larger, or blunt end considered as a bottom, base, support, or handle, as of a log, fishing rod, or pistol. 2. an end that is not used or consumed; remnant: a cigar butt. 3. a lean cut of pork shoulder. 4. Slang. the buttocks. 5. Slang. a cigarette. -- If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace, but we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank.

Is the shoulder blade roast the same as a butt? > > Thanks, > Mike Yes. I just posted the whole description a couple of days ago. A pork shoulder contains two bones. One in the picnic or top portion of the front leg and the other the shoulder blade. They are joined at the shoulder. The part of the shoulder above the joint is called by a variety of names, shoulder roast and butt are the most common. It is uncommon to find a whole shoulder in the meat market. I don't know what "Boston" means in connection with pork butt, but it is often listed as Boston butt. Food Network has used that term in several recipes, but does not explain it. Just look for a shoulder roast or butt roast or just butt. It should be seven or eight pounds and contain only one bone. -- Brick(also confused) |
