I always smoke a Butt fat side up. Mustard and rub season all over.
Anyone do fat side down? Any benefits? Wondering if the seasoning is harder to penetrate the fat side so I thought trying fat down. Butt goes on grill in 15 minutes. Thanks |

Quoted: fat side up! fat bastes the meat as it melts if it was on the downside, it would just go into the pit dont worry about flavor penetration, the smoke will take care of that That right there. You chance some dry meat with fat side down. usually rub it down with a dry rub the night before (mustard optional....sometimes I do, sometimes not). Reminds me I need to pick one up soon for next week. |

I'll be smoking my first butt on saturday. Pretty excited about it. If you even do it 75% right, be prepared for Nirvana. And addiction. I got the recipe from the pickled pig forum so I think I'm all set. Do you think I should make pulled pork from the whole thing? |
