I have been barbecuing for years and this is -- hands down -- the best pork butt I nhave ever made. How good is it? So good that you won't want to put sauce on it. I thought I'd never make 'que that good, but this is the REAL DEAL. Make sure that you inject it with the marinade. This pork will stand up against the best you've ever had, including those made by professionals. Stop what you're doing, fire up the smoker and enjoy a slice of HEAVEN.06/11/09
