    cured pork butt

    I've cured a half a boneless boston butt. Planned on hot smoking her tomorrow. Same temps as bacon? 225F and IT of 150F?

    Cured boston butt is frequently called buckboard bacon. If you do a search here, or on the interweb, you'll find additional information. I've made it several times smoking to IT 165º. Not saying that's right, just what worked for me.

      Do you plan on slicing and further cooking it like bacon (buckboard bacon)? Or do you plan on serving it like ham (shoulder ham)? For a ham like product I would probably cook to a higher temp as johnec00 does.

        Had planned on slicing like bacon. I can work with 165F. Also doing a plain butt for BBQ taking that baby to about 205F or so.

          How was this?

          I have been thinking about doing a package of Costco pork butts using the Katz Recipe. Then smoking one of them all the way to probe tender and see how I like it. When I use the other butt in that package, I will go until I like the level of bark, then SV for the final step, just like I usually do when I make pastrami. (Instead of steaming)

            About 3 hours, changed water 3 times, maybe 4. I am hoping it was enough. Last time, 8 hours was too much, it was way bland. But that was home cured... I got some other stuff for dinner, just in case. lol Always need a backup plan.

          Turned out great! Wife said some of it would be chunked up for use in a soup. Slicing some today and giving the wife her part
