We like pork butts and we cannot lie, but not all pork butts are equal. Prior to preparing a fantastic feast of pulled pork or a fall-apart roast, it is important to select a high-quality pork butt to yield the most delicious results. Watch Pit Master Curtis Nations present what to look for and how to find a perfect pork butt.

When selecting a pork butt, Pit Master and Chef Curtis Nations showcases several factors that are important in your selection. Look for a pork butt that has a nice, even flesh and bright white fat. If the fat has a yellow-ish tint to it, the pork butt may have sat out for some time. Another key indicator of a good pork butt is all in the packaging. The cyro-packaging, or plastic wrap surrounding the meat, should be nice and tight. If it is loose or has several air pockets, the pork butt’s freshness may be diminished. Either the meat has sat in the package for too long or the package could potentially have a hole in it.
