I'm getting ready for my maiden run tomorrow with my WSM. I picked up a 5 pound bone-in butt and started to trim some of the larger fat when I noticed that the butt started to look kind of mishapen.
In all of the pictures I've seen they always look nice and round and uniform. Mine's starting to look like one sections pulling away from rest.
If I lay it out so there's no loose sections laying on top of each other, it looks kind of flat - not real bad, but not as round as it looked in the cryovac. It wasn't tied or anything like some beef roasts but I'm wondering if its normal for a butt to look this way.
Will it affect my cooking time at all?
Thanks,
Mike
