I don’t trust the quality of pre seasoned meat and I don’t like paying for mystery seasonings. I almost got one $4 off but I decided against. Knowing Costco it’s probably good tho

It is delicious

I bought one but it sat in the back of my fridge a few days before I smoked it over the weekend. Still within the sell-by date. It was smokey on its own before I put in the Pit Barrel. Dinner Saturday night and lunch on Sunday. Then I portioned it up into four or five vac seal bags to put in the freezer.
Really is good for tacos with some pico and cabbage.

Fantastic “carnitas”

I didn’t notice any real difference in flavor than any other pulled pork I have smoked

What is a pork shoulder butt?
Isn’t a shoulder a shoulder and the hams the butt?
Edit: don’t need the downvotes, I was just asking an honest question
The reason I’m confused is because I raise pigs and I keep one myself every year to eat that I have the locker plant cut up. They will ask you how you want it cut up… and when they ask about the front shoulder they’ve only ever asked if I wanted it cut into roasts or steaks or a combination.
I haven’t bought very much meat from the store and I’m not a butcher so I don’t know different cuts but have heard of a “Boston butt” but always assumed it was a specific cut from the hams

I got one and smoked it without adding any other seasons to it. It was really bland

I also found this at Costco and smoked one a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty good, there was a slight hint of citrus to the bark that reminded me of carnitas. Made some tacos with it that were really good.

When I run across these boneless butts, I forego the smoker, and chunk them up for chile verde. But that’s for a different sub.

If anyone invites me anywhere and the words “Hatch chilli” are used at all. Im throwing hands.

I saw those and almost bought one!

I don’t do pre seasoned. I feel like everything comes out tasting like undifferentiated lunch meats

Smoked one this Sunday. My first smoked butt ever and it was delicious.

I smoked one this weekend. I added fresh ground pepper, garlic and onion powder, and a little brown sugar to make a good bark. It turned out really well.

It was super good. 8 hours on the smoker and another 3 in the crock pot with a beer. Smokey carnitas for the win.

So this is either too salty or not salty enough. I have one sitting in my fridge.
Don’t know if I should smoke it or slow roast it. Anyone here cooked it in the oven?

The only packaged marinated meat I get are the tenderloins when they’re on sale.

Saw this on one of their marketing emails and they were advertising it at $2.99/lb like it’s a great deal. Meanwhile Food Lion had Boston butts at $0.99/lb so I bought a couple of those instead

I smoked it and made tacos. Just unwrapped and threw it on the pit barrell as is. Like 9 hours and finished in the oven. I really enjoyed it and have some vaccuum sealed in the freezer.

If you want the easiest meal ever, throw it as is into a crockpot on low before you go to sleep. By the time you wake up it is delicious pulled pork swimming in its own juices.

Got it, smoked it. Made quesadillas. Will but again.

Got one last weekend. Just added some smoked paprika and ancho chile powder for extra color and flavor. Turned out absolutely amazing! Delicious carnitas the first night, and then pulled pork mac and cheese the next. Got about 6 burritos in the freezer for meal prep next week, and enough left over to do some ramen and feed the neighbors.
Would definitely get again!

I ended up doing half in the instant pot. Saving the other half for another round. It was fantastic. Once I get moved, I’d love to smoke one of these. Just can’t justify it until I’m back under the same roof as the wife.

I love hatch ~~chili’s~~ chiles and couldn’t pass it up when I found it, and it was $4 off or something. I smoked it on Saturday evening at 225 through the night. In the morning I put it in a foil tray, added about 1/3 cup of apple juice, and continued cooking it at 225 until it hit 200 around 4:00pm. Shredded it and made tacos with it. It was amazing and had a very rich deep flavor to it.

Haven’t seen these at my local Costco.

I live this place. I’ve ordered over 125 lbs this year to split with friends and family. Found them after I came back from Colorado last year.
It was really good. In fact it was the preferred of the 3 butts I smoked.
They were $4 off at my costco. Made carnitas with it on Sunday and it was so good and juicy
Rubbed mine down with kosmo honey chipotle killer bee and it’s on the smoker now
