Darren that looks great. What kind of rub did you use? How hot were you cooking? 

I just did my first PP in my mini 2 weeks ago.

I used a homemade rub one of my co-workers makes. I am not sure of the components. This is his Raspberry version. It is my standard Pork rub. I had the smoker dialed in at 275 for the first 3 hours and then upped to 325 for the rest.

Where did you find a 4lb butt?  Or did you just cut a bigger one into smaller parts?

My local Grocery store has a meat market and they cut the butts down to smaller sizes. I think people like to use them in Crock pots around here. I like them because they fit in my Mini easily and I can cook them quicker. I don't entertain with a lot of people so the 8 Lbs total pork was plenty for us.

Look'n good. Nice bark. Maybe next time offer a red sauce in addition to the vinegar for your guests, so they can have more options. Nothing wrong with

east carolina, but options are good.

Thanks for the comments. I was planning a few differant sauce options. I did put out a standard barbeque sauce for those who didn't want the East Carlina version. Next time I may put out a Mustard sauce as well. For family I like to keep things simple

Thanks everyone for the comments.
