Starting a little 6lb'r tonight.  Came up with my own dry rub and this is the first time I'm using my own so we can experiment from here.  For some reason I always go over board and had to stop myself from adding Capt' Morgan Spiced Rum to the injection.  So here goes:

Dry Rub:

3TBSP Paprika

3TBSP Brown Sugar

1TBSP White Pepper

1TBSP Chili Powder

1/2 TBSP Garlic Salt

Injection Marinade:

8oz Cherry Dr. Pepper

8oz Natural Apple Juice

2oz Spray Butter

1TBSP Dry Rub

Sterilized Needle before injecting and after washing the butt.  Mixed up the marinade and poked it all over.  Coated the butt in spray butter and added my rub.  Let it sit, saran wrapped in the fridge for 24hrs.  I will be laying on heavy smoke, hickory most likely, with my AMNPS burning from both ends. 

The adventure starts tonight!!

8hrs in, sitting at 174*.

I decided to trust the MES for temps and set it at 225* this time, setting my alarms on the Mav a little lower and had no issues at all. Previously I thought I had a 15-20* temp difference, so I just let the smoker run for an hour or so, watching my temps with the maverick.  Temps seem to be right on, spikes are only about 15* when heating up, low side is about 215* so all in all its good.

I thought about opening it this AM and snapping a pic, checking on the water, etc. but I decided to just let it be.  Smoke is still lightly rolling out, butt looks good.  Finishing pics will be posted later, hoping for around 1 or 2 finish. 

SoFlaQuers finishing sauce will be added as well.
