I visited a local meat smoker the other day. I brought him 10# of Pork Butt. We hung out all day and smoke and drank while it was over the Butt was over the smoker.

He kept telling me how high of a grade my Pork Butt was. The best he’s ever worked with, he would say.

Personally, I think he was blowing smoke up my ass…

Now…I know you might be thinking…

“But, Roby! That pun doesn’t count because Pork Butt isn’t really a Pig’s rear end!”

and to that I say….

At least I have a shoulder to cry on.

Smoked Pork Butt Recipe
