Description
The pork Boston butt is taken from the top part of the shoulder often known as the collar. The bone is often left in, sometimes with part of the rib. This adds to the flavour when cooking and also helps to distribute heat and retain moisture in the joint. This part of the pig, particularly with native breeds, has a good fat content and marbling in the meat to further add to the flavour and succulence of the end result. The Boston butt is particularly popular amongst our BBQ customers who see it as the choice cut for low ‘n’ slow smoking and grilling. You can get equally good results in your oven at home.
Our tip would be to give it a rub with your choice of BBQ rub or just with some good salt and freshly ground pepper. Then put it in a large roasting bag and put it into an oven at around 150c or less. Cook it until the internal temperature is above 80c and then take it out of the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes. Open the bag into a roasting tin, pull out the bones and then shred it. You might want to add some BBQ sauce, but give it a try first as it’s delicious as it is!

Delivery was very efficient. The meat had a bit to much fat on the joint (which i trimmed) for me but the meat cooked great on the kamodo. Would definitely order again.

Left me too much work to do on it before I slow smoked it. I had to de-bone and trim off the skin and fat leaving me with 4.2kg of meat. My fault for not reading it properly before ordering.

Was delicious. I used a Jamie Oliver recipe. The crackling was a big hit with the family and there was meat left over,very unusual

Good piece of meat – just over 5Kg once skinned and boned out – all converted into chorizo/salami – good balance of meat to fat – can’t wait. Well packed

Tasty bit of meat, I was expecting a long steady smoke on my UDS and was surprised that it was ready in about 9 hours. Bone slid straight out and it pulled like a dream. Had plenty of chefs privilege, 2 big portions were saved for tea and 8 have been bagged and frozen for the coming weeks.
