Competition Pork Butt | Montana Outlaw BBQ

Welcome to our competition series video for all of the BBQ and competition enthusiasts out there! We took pork from our friends Compart Duroc and show you how to trim, inject, season, wrap, cook, and present to perfection using our Traeger Ironwood 885 Grill.

***Please remember competition cooking takes some planning. Here are the lengths of time to keep in mind for this recipe.

Injection Marinade- Must sit refrigerated after being mixed for 24 Hours.
After Injecting and Seasonings- The cut of meat must be refrigerated after injecting and seasoning for 6-8 Hours.
Initial Smoke Time- Approx. 4 Hours
Wrapped Cut Smoke Time- Approx. 1-1.5 Hours
Rest Time for the Money Muscle- 20-25 Minutes

This video literally changed my life. My comp calls in pork have been amazing every since. I study this video every time a comp is coming up.

Doing my first comp next weekend and while it’s just a local fire dept sponsored one, I needed this info. Thanks for doing this. It seems that a lot of other folks will show their trim but not the cook or vice versa. Thanks for the start to finish….really helps!

Watching it again, it’s a timeless truth! After many years of competitions I finally took over on pork. I felt very prepared. Thanks y’all, it’s greatly appreciated. Respect!

This was excellent learning class
Now here is my question when you practice do you use completion Boston butt or not.

Would just like to say a HUGE THANKS from this KCBS Judge to you Guys that Compete; It's a tough gig, for sure!

[txpitmaster]

You guys are artists! Y'all are the Picasso of pork butt! Thanks for another great video. And for everyone like me trying to learn how competition bbq works and what is expected, you will not find a better channel than this!

Awesome trim and identifications of the separate parts of the shoulder. Love the vids.

[jonathanpaulk]

Good looking money muscle!! Only one time have I gotten mine to slice like that, it usually just shreds.

How long to rest when they are done cooking

Now I want to come back to competing. Unfortunately won't be back this season.

Your competition videos are absolutely awesome!!! Thanks for putting these together. The quality of information and videography is the best out there on YouTube!! I’m still pretty much a rookie on the KCBS circuit (competed two years now), and have had really good luck so far, but this will take our competition BBQ to the next level. We’ve walked in every comp we’ve entered so far, and have had two over-all runner ups, but your videos are gonna help us win one this year. Thanks so much for all the great tips and tricks!!! I’d love to see how you guys build a box… if you don’t mind giving that away too. Thanks!!! And seriously… good job with your channel!!

Thanks for all your videos. Can you explain why it's important to wrap tightly? Some techniques use a covered foil pan which isn't tight. I'm just interested in the theory behind it. Cheers

[Settertude]

That was really interesting, fellas. Thank you.

[alexlinko]

What kind of needle are you using to inject?

[BBBarbecueandPits]

Great video! Good information and straight to the point. Studying up for my first KCBS competition in October 👍🏻

[BakersBBQ]

Good techniques! Just subbed and look forward to more videos 👍🏻

[benpierce]

As I found out at KCBS CBJ school recently, smoke ring cannot be considered when judging for appearance. But I suspect it leaves an impact on a judge, nonetheless. I like the tip about lubricating the cutting board with a bit of sauce.

[Ribpublicansbbqteam]

Awesome video. I really enjoyed the breakdown and trim of the butt and the explanation why. We've placed high in all 7 of our comps we've entered but i really think this will elevate our butt box with the trim job and the reduction of cook time (we love our sleep). I'm thinking the next money muscle trial i do is cooking until 190 and resting until the sauce up to help it hold more shape for slicing and presentation.

Rick was just dying to crack a joke about big butts! Great video guys.

[carlagribi]

Who knew a butt can be so simply complicated. Great video. Enjoying from Coeur d'Alene Idaho.
