You trim pork butts?
I did the last time and it was amazing. If you are going low and slow you will never render all the fat. Just left a meatier, more delicious final product. Better bark, too. Quick YouTube search shows a lot of guys recommend it.

When I do them I do not trim at all. Cook longer if you want to render more fat in.
I am sure it is a matter of opinion, too. I aim to please the fam, so the fat must go.

Damn. I smoke my butts for so long that I barely have any remaining fats on them. You have fat on your butt when you smoke to 203?

That looks fan-tas-tic!

They taste as good as they look?
They were scrumptious.

How much trimming do you do to the belly before cubing up? My family is noses up to any non-rendered fat. I think if I do these again, I will remove the entire fat cap and trim a bunch of the hard fat off the top, as well. I did minimal trimming, but left about a 1/4 inch on the cap. I gotta say, I went a bit crazy with the trimming on the last pork butt that I did and it turned out better than any I have ever made.
I haven't prepared a pork belly as poor man's burnt ends yet. I've only done chuck roasts and there isn't much to trim off those.

As far as a pork roast on the smoker, I trim some of the fat off, down to about 1/4" or so, and let the rest render. My wife doesn't much care for any remaining fat, either, so I make it easy on her...and myself.

About that gameday cousine yesterday.

I smoked a pork butt on Friday and, yeah, it was awesome.

But with the leftovers, I tried something different: Texas Twinkees.

Whole jalapeños stuffed with Thai chili infused cream cheese, pork butt leftovers, then wrapped in bacon.

OMFG good!

I just did the bacon wrapped jalapeños, with a cream cheese fill and I like a sweet Thai chili sauce instead of barbecue.

Seems like I need to add some pork butt, lol.

My smoker hates me. It has been far too long.

That looks delicious.

Send more pictures of this, hoping to get one more before muzzle loader season ends, looking for a fun idea.
