Pork butt questions for the group.

1. Fat cap up or down?

2. Score the top side of the pork butt before cooking or no?

When using a pellet grill, fat cap up.

Unlike a typical gas grill, the heat source doesn't directly heat from the bottom. By design, it is indirect. 

In this situation, the melting of the fat cap on top doesn't penetrate the meat but it effectively 'bastes' it - keeping it moist.

Scoring the fat cap is advisable if the cap is relatively thick. That will help it render and not leave an unrendered layer of fat on top of the finished meat.

Some of us score the fat cap even if it isn't thick if we're going after a bit leaner version of pulled pork. But that's just personal preference. I'd prefer that my rub creates a delicious bark on the actual meat and not on fat - but that's just me.

This is my typical setup as well and they always turn out juicy and delicious.

Do you do any injecting or bringing on your pork butt?

I have not injected a pork butt...yet!  Plan to try that.  I have injected chicken however.

What I use for my pork butt is a Kroger brand premade Pork Rub...I have made my own with good success but found the premade stuff is the best.

I do overnight soaks instead of injecting. Seems to work pretty well.

I’m a little bothered we’ve went all these pages and breakfast hasn’t gotten any love. Next to lunch and dinner, it is the most important meal of the day…

Tonight we went with my Denver steak and blue cheese salad. 

I can't get this meal out of my brain.  It looks so good.

Burgers is the request. Question is over the coals or smash style on the griddle…

I do like a char-burger with a butter toasted bun. 

[Husker_Du]

char over the coals > smashburger all day everyday. 

[Ban Basketball]

How and when did this smash burger craze begin?

Yes,  I know people have made them forever,  but there's hardly a day that passes where I don't hear,  "smash burger. "

With that said,  I DO want to grill me some Oklahoma onion burgers though.

Coals it went. It’s not really even a choice.

My wife and I couldn't say enough good about out smoked chuck roasts,  aside from the usual: Traeger takes a MONTH  to cook anything. 

It was maddening.

Steak ‘n Shake man! 
 

Seriously for the rise in familiarity with the term ‘smash burger’…..simple marketing. With the rise in popularity in grilling, comes the rise in sales of grilling accessories. It’s not so much for the dads, as much as for those who need to buy dad gifts.
