Newbie question, I have bought some pork butt and after defreezing it I have found out that it was cut in steaks. I was planning on doing a pulled pork but now I am worried if it will work given the size of the steaks Any thoughts?

I think you can still get some pretty good pulled pork. Just smoke 'em till they have good bark, then wrap it all in foil together and braise it, it'll still pull when you're done.
Or grill those up and go buy a whole butt - pork is still fairly cheap. -
Is it possible to tie it back together with butcher twine to form it up again. I really don't know if you can get pulled out of steaks, doesn't seem to be the best way to do it. Hopefully somebody here has some thoughts.Comment

The pork steaks can make great St. Lous Pork Steaks. If you still want to make pulled pork I am with captainlee tying it back together with butcher twine. I would tie it with as many strings and in as many directions as necessary to get it back into one butt.Comment

Bummer!! So happens I'm fixin to put a butt on the kettle myself this morning... good advice here, either go with them as steaks and change the cook plan, or truss them up with twine. Let us know how it comes out!Comment

Thanks a lot guys! They will sleep in the fridge today and I am smoking tomorrow with the twine. I will update the results tomorrow!Comment

I have actually done that with two small grass fed briskets - they were about 4 lbs each and I was afraid they would dry out so I tied them together and it worked fine.Comment

realdocBBQ it was really good! My wife and daughter love it!
I am still learning my ways with rubs so I am looking forward to improve it.Comment
