Will add, that I have started to smoke with the fat cap down as to not dry out the meat that is closes to the heat source...it has made that meat some of the best and moistest (yes I said moistest) parts of the pork butt/brisket. This is my typical setup as well and they always turn out juicy and delicious. Do you do any injecting or bringing on your pork butt? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatWhiteNorth Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 8 hours ago, Gus said: Pork butt questions for the group. 1. Fat cap up or down? 2. Score the top side of the pork butt before cooking or no? When using a pellet grill, fat cap up. Unlike a typical gas grill, the heat source doesn't directly heat from the bottom. By design, it is indirect. In this situation, the melting of the fat cap on top doesn't penetrate the meat but it effectively 'bastes' it - keeping it moist. Scoring the fat cap is advisable if the cap is relatively thick. That will help it render and not leave an unrendered layer of fat on top of the finished meat. Some of us score the fat cap even if it isn't thick if we're going after a bit leaner version of pulled pork. But that's just personal preference. I'd prefer that my rub creates a delicious bark on the actual meat and not on fat - but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ban Basketball Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) How and when did this smash burger craze begin? Yes, I know people have made them forever, but there's hardly a day that passes where I don't hear, "smash burger. " With that said, I DO want to grill me some Oklahoma onion burgers though.
