Did not get a chance to post this last night but here goes:
I figured what better way to kick off a week of leave then to fire up the smoke and grab a couple cold ones. The day before I rubbed it with Jeff's rub and wrapped it in the fridge for the night. Meanwhile I made a fresh batch of Jeff;s sauce and some homemade coleslaw to go with the next days deliciousness! I am still getting used to my AKORN after my UDS was stolen while I was on travel but it did pretty well yesterday, only had one point where I didn't catch a temp drop (hit 190 at around the 7 hour point) but that was quickly resolved. The Butt went on around 240 and i stayed 245-260 all day long with the one drop as the exception. Every hour she got a spritz of Black Jerry Jim Beam and Apple Juice. I foiled at the 165 mark and put it in towels and a cooler at 195. After 45 mins of resting we couldn't wait any longer so I tore a big hunk off for dinner then re-wrapped and pulled the rest after we ate. It was simply amazing and with the coleslaw and the wife's homemade whole wheat bread it was just what the Leave Doctor ordered!
Rubbed in Jeff's rub and ready to get wrapped in the freezer
Ready to start the low n' slow process
About 6 hours in to the smoke she is ready to wrap at 165
After resting for 45 mins the bone pulled out real clean
The large hunk for dinner pulled and ready to serve
Final product, it was very tasty
Thanks for looking and smoke on!!
