First time doing pork butt, so why not do it when there's people comin over, right? I have a large BGE, and love it. But after almost 2 years, I never did pulled pork! Got stuck in the brisket routine...and damn good at it, I must say...but its time for pork.
Bought a butt from Costco, turns out its 2 boneless in one....wasn't ready for that. No worries - picked up some generic Costco meat rub, coated my butts and wrapped em up overnight.
This morning, I got the BGE up to about 250, indirect heat and a drip pan with water, and put both of them in about 8:30 am. I'm pretty much following Meowy's sticky from a few years back - great instructions!
After IT hit about 100, I misted a few times with apple juice and Cpt Morgans. I don't know if misting ever makes any difference or not but I feel cool doing it.
Took about 5 hrs and stalled out at 162. So I wrapped em up in foil with some apple juice and put them back on. Its now almost 8pm, and the temp is barely bumping 190. Long smoke, but I'm about to pull em and let em rest while I make SoFlaQuer's finishing sauce. Gonna pull it tonight and reheat for sammies at the party tomorrow.
So far so good - looks yummy anyway!
