michael.thro Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I volunteered to supply the meat for the 4th of July. I was thinking about a pork butt and some ribs. I have an Char Griller Akorn and I thought i read on here about people doing a butt over ribs with the extender rack, but can't seem to find anything. Has anyone done this? Is there a better way? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The thing is, they cook differently. Ribs are only about an inch thick, so they cook in 4-6 hrs. Pork butt is much thicker, and takes more like 8-12 hrs. It's also is a bulletproof re-heat as pulled pork. Unless you're up for a challenge, I'd cook the butt anytime now, and freeze it, then start the ribs early enough for planned service time on the 4th. I do it all the time. Ribs will profit from immediate service. HAve fun, Frank KamadoChris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King19 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 No need to cook and freeze the butt Just start it earlier then cook ribs for but should rest at least an hour in a cooler before serving done ribs and butts plenty of times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
