I’ve done plenty of Boston butts but never these. Didn’t look up any recipes but went in with the mindset of smoking mini shoulders, slightly higher heat for the smoke and a sear if necessary (it was).
Gave them a dry brine for 24 hours. Smoked at 260 for 3 hours, at that point they were approaching 180 so I goosed the heat to get a little more color on them. They have amazing flavor, are tender and didn’t dry out at all. They had great marbling so I was giving a huge leg up there. Should’ve taken a before picture.

Good job those look good.
just to be clear, “goosed the heat” means to turn up the heat?
