I had to try Old Dave’s pork burnt ends; I had the same rub
and sauces he used, Blues Hog. I followed his recipe pretty close but I started
with some already cooked pork butt. I had over a pound of pork butt leftover so
I cut it in 1 inch chunks and trimmed most all the fat. I seasoned it with
Blues Hog rub a couple of hours before cooking.
I had a white yam leftover to have and a tomato, pretzel bun
and cheese casserole I made up from tomatoes from my garden. I layered the bun
halves in a buttered casserole dish; wet each one with some chicken broth and a
pat of butter. I then sliced up some red and yellow tomatoes on top and added
seasoning. It went in a 350 deg. oven covered for 40 minutes, then removed the
cover and added a little over a cup of mixed shredded cheddar cheese and in another
20 minutes.
The pork went on my smoker on a frog mat to smoke for an
hour at 180 deg. about 200 deg. grill level. I then placed it in a foil pan and
added sauce; I just eyeballed it and used about 2 parts Blues Hog Original to 1
part Tennessee Red Sauce. I upped the controller to 200 deg. for another hour.
I then added a little brown sugar and 3 pats of butter. It went another hour
for a total of 3 hours. The last 2 hours it was at 225-230 deg. grill level.
The burnt ends and
the tomato casserole were done at 6:00. I heated up the yams and served the
wife and me. I did not think I would be crazy about the burnt ends, since I am
not a fan of overly sweet meats. I loved these and will definitely fix them
again. I liked Dave’s choice of the sauce and rubs, the sweet and heat was
about evenly balanced. I would like the heat to stand out but then the wife would
not like them. These are good Dave, thanks for the recipe!
