Daytona -- Injected Butt?

[tell you what bbq]

WELL...HERE GOES....year 3 of the now-annual DAYTONA Q PARTY!!! Last year had -- 50+ people in the house.

This year -- Ordered 40 lbs of BUTT and a 1/2 barrel of BUD LIGHT (gotta watch those calories!

...ALTHOUGH, I went to the butcher today (A&P) and he said I HOPE WE GET IT IN!!! I am a BIT anxious!

I asked for plain BUTT -- NO INJECTION. 1855 only supplies injected BUTT here in NY -- I don't want the H20/salt injection.

WHAT DO YOU FOLKS THINK OF THE INJECTED BUTT??

Here is a link to last years Q-vue.

They're great, as long as i'm the one doing it, no enhanced meat for me.

If there is a Sam's Club anywhere near you, that may be a better choice. I don't think their butts are enhanced.

Not sure on the injected butt... but bud lite? That needs some work!

Sams is a good idea. I am heading there today to grab a butt for the 500.

Same story with Costco (just like Sam's). They have cryopacked butt in 12-16 lb packages (two pieces) for $1.38/lb. Good meat, not injected.

What do you pay per lb at your butcher?

BUD LITE...I know...LAME!!! BUTT <-pun intended. that is what happens when you are drinkin' from Saturday afternooon thru Sunday evening!!

My buthcher (A&P) DID not get my meat delivered today!!! Screwed me.

I called a SHOP RITE they have #40lbs. of BUTT -- I will post the PPlb (price per pound) later today.
