Well guys...i decided to try my hand at smokin a butt.Ive smoked a small brisket and a rack of ribs with mixed results so i decided to try a more forgivin meat.I didnt get a pic of the butt when i started but heres one @ 7hr mark...it @ 170. Loving the amount of bark but i think i might have went a touch heavy on the cayenne....
