My smoker, grill, and general porch area have risen from beneath the frozen tundra snow. The season is upon us.

Anyone have an out of the ordinary pork butt recipe/rub?

I like ribs because they don't take all day. I usually get em done in 4 hrs. With ribs you just eat, unlike shredding a 10 lb butt then getting to enjoy.

Yeah, i'm leaning towards ribs for my first smoke of the year. To make shredding a butt easier get yourself a set of these.

I've seen these. Always been curious. Do they work well?

Yes. They work great. I got a set free with my thermometer or gloves. Can't remember which now.... They allow you to shred / pull the pork without touching it and you can do it while it's hot without issues.

I did not get this exact set but you can search and find others. https://www.amazon.com/GDEALER-Silicone ... ven+gloves

Did some Berkshire ribs over the weekend. Got a little rusty in the off season, but they were pretty damn good nonetheless.

I've never had Berkshire. Is it worth the extra price versus regular pork? The store in my town also stocks wild boar ribs as well. Anyone evet try those?

I did ribs a few weeks back for the first smoke of the year. Baby backs using the 2-2-1 method, always FTW (wood was mix of apple & Hickory).

I have to say I don't like those bear claw things. I'm pretty selective when pulling/ shredding. When I tried them the results (for me at least) were not great. Too fatty. Even after restingfor an hour the meat is still crazy hot, but bare hands is still the way to go IMO.

I noticed a huge difference in meat quality and taste, but also in the way they cooked just more even and reliable.

Sounds like you need to trim more fat off before they hit the smoker.

...or hit a higher internal temp.

The bear claws work really well... 10x better then shredding most other ways.

nah.. not referring to a fat cap, I'm talking actually pulling the pork. Obviously it almost all renders down but there is still the odd piece I discard. As mentioned, I'm selective.
You say 'they' as if I'm talking ribs. Obviously talking butt.

Nah, I don't think so re: temp. I go internal of 195 bra.

Claws might be faster, but better? not for me. Agree to disagree.
