Git Your Butt In A Bag

Former Member

So far the “Chicks In The Sack” went over great.
Now, it's time to try “Butts In A Bag”.

Got some Red Poly Ham Sacks. Not happy with the presentation, but we will see if they do the job.
I think they're UGLY.

Crowned and rubbed with Big Ron's Hint of Houston.

The one on the left is bone-in for Pulled Pork and I deboned the one on the right for sliced.
That's still an UGLY Bag.

Got the FEC-100 humming along at 224F for 4 hours, then I'm gonna kick it up to 275F to finish.
Thanks for lookin'. Stay tuned.

I've actually tried that before so I'll wait until your results before I post mine.

Always good to experiment, seems like you're on a roll lately.

Russ, I'm glad that I ain't the only one to try goofy ideas.
We'll compare notes. Did you baste yours with anything?

I think you are having fun! What is the main idea behind doing this way? Is it so that it cooks more evenly and better smoke distribution? Just curious.

Vicki, yes I am having fun.
The idea? I couldn't find my butcher's twine at 3 a.m. to tie the boneless one up into a roll.
They appear to cook more evenly and will have bark all of the way around. We shall see.
Here they are 4 hours in and 142 IT.

And away we go.
This is the boneless, DE-SACKED at 183F.

The bone in one, DE-SACKED at 195F.

The bark is unbelievable. So if you like bark, you owe it to yourself to give this a try.
They are resting right now, getting ready for the slice and the pull.
Are ya hungry yet? Stay tuned.

Thank you MAINEiac. Yes sir I do. I wish they didn't take so much room up.
I figure that I can get 8 butts on at the most per load.
I gotta experiment with that one.
Maybe add a rib rack to the top and gain 2". May work on a second tier, if that is possible.
