This forum is so full of good tips helps a newbie become confident quickly. Just did my 2nd Boston Butt and it turned out perfectly. Had friends over and got rave reviews. Brining certainly adds to the final product. This time I allowed 2 hours per pound and that was exactly what it took. Adding to my enjoyment were having bear claws which make pulling the meat a breeze and silicone gloves. Thanks to all for what you contribute to helping us all become expert Lazy Q chefs.
