Thawing Boston butts
Sometime back I purchased (8) butts to bbq. Plans got changed and did not get to cook them as planned. I stored them in the freezer and they have been frozen for about 4 months. What is a good way to thaw them to keep the meat in as good a condition as possible: also about how long should it take them to thaw if I just put them in the fridge until thawed

I bbq butts and fresh picnic's all the time and buy when on sale and freeze, thaw in fridge takes bout 3 to 4 days.

I buy butts in bulk when the price is right, then freeze until I get ready to cook. I thaw four at a time, all I do is place them in a large cooler with no ice a couple days before I get ready to cook. I check on them a few times a day, if they feel like they are thawed "temp. inside cooler is not real cold" I throw a little ice on them until ready to cook. This keeps my better half happy because her fridge is not full. I do this with a regular inexpensive igloo cooler, Hope this helps.

I buy Boston Butt's when they are on sale then grind them up with electric grinder and add Legg's sausage season. This makes a lot better sausage than the store bought brands. I also add deer at times to this same mix. 1/2 Boston Butt, 1/2 deer and Legg's season to make deer sausage.
Be safe and good luck fishing

Place in the sink and fill with cool water. Change water out every hour. Should be defrosted in about 4-5 hours (and still cold). Or do the same in a cooler. The more movement the water has, the quicker it defrost. Or set in the refridge for 3+ days.
