Pressure/smoked pork butt

[mguerra]

Remember I described precooking ribs in the PC and then finishing on the fire? I pressure cooked a 6-1/2 lb. boneless pork shoulder, elevated off the bottom of the pot with a trivet,  for 30 minutes,  and waited for a natural pressure release. It’s now smoking on an oak/mesquite fire. Once I see a good bark I will wrap it in butcher paper until it hits an internal temp of 205°F. The fire is running at about 275°F. The experiment is to see if you can get it done in less than 1-1/2 hour per pound, ( 9-3/4 hours for this one) and get a good result.

Hi, Doc! Glad to see you post. Let us know how it works out.

I tried the rib idea once and it worked out fine; but, I have to say, that I haven't done it since. Hoever, it's nice to have it in your BBQ toolbox if you need to do a rack in a short period of time! Same for this pork butt, assuming it works out as well!

Nicely done vid and cook, cutting time off the back end is always a plus.

Nice video and a good tip. I liked the removal of the connective tissue before the pull. It isn't my favorite part of pulled pork.

I watched your video all the way to the end.  I was fascinated by the comings and goings of your dog in the background.  Very well behaved, not to be begging for some of that good looking pork!

Great, video, @mguerra - thank you!  Glad to see all came out well.  I'm certain to give this a try!

@mguerra  Doc,  Not sure what kind of pressure cooker you used....my old school stove top cooker requires a lot  of moisture to keep from running dry (steam) and drying out the meat also.  Did you have to add a normal amount of water to your cooker for the 30 minute cook??  Thanks

Collar butt takes 6 hours on Ora. In saying that i buy the same size all the time . Hence I know when to check lol
