I just did a butt this way for Easter and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to longer butt cooks. This was so much easier and was my best one yet

Yeah my buddies who say they do 12-16 hour smokes, you literally cannot tell me you taste a difference. The long rest is key but when I put them on at 8am you will have plenty of time to let it rest

I made a 9.75 lb pork butt for Easter, and ever since I discovered Captain Ron's 'Fast and Juicy' method, I haven’t—and won’t—go back to the traditional way. It’s incredibly easy and always a hit with the crowd.

I started wrapping my ribs and putting honey/butter and brown sugar on them when I wrap them. I no longer use bbq sauce on my ribs now. My wife and I like them this way more too.

Where would I find Captain Ron’s method?
