    Hello!

    In new to the forums but not new to using Meatheads recipes, So far I have enjoyed the pulled pork, brisket, Katz Pastrami, and others...

    Going to another pulled port for the 4th, got a 15lb butt that I'm hopping should take more than 15-20 hours

      Welcome to The Pit.

      Ya might want to cut that butt in half or even thirds. It will cook faster and you will get more bark.

        I have not done that yet, the direction I have seen were to find the bone and cut below it. Does that leave the fat cap on one half. Does the bone just hangout exposed or do I remove the bone also?

        First, ya don't need the fat cap, or at least no more than 1/4". Most people won't eat that much fat, and if the bark is on the fat, you will lose it. I trim all the cap because there is enough intramuscular for flavor and moisture.

        If the bone is exposed when you divide it, I'd just remove it. You may have to tie each piece in order to consolidate them for more even cooking.
