on tying a boneless butt....

[Ligoniera1]

This seems basic enough. I've got a 6lb boneless butt that I need to tie and I've n ever done it. Any tricks or tips for it? I'm thinking it's common sense and straight forward enough but wanted to ask the PitMasters before I proceed.

The last one I did, which was my first one.....boneless as well....did not get tied. It seemed to hold itself together pretty well while I rubbed it but upon transfering to the PBC, it flopped open a bit. I trimmed the chunks, added more rub and did some early taste testing on the trimmed pcs.....but I thought I'd try and clean up my act a bit and look a bit more like I know what I'm doing.

I go two across. That way I can put a hook under one, and hang the butt more vertical rather than flat. I'm doing two Sunday morning.

You Tube has a bunch of videos showing how to tie up roasts with butcher twine.

Not sure if this is the type of tie job you want but here's a link to a video on Serious Eats:
