Needed a new grill so decided to get a Yoder that would smoke and grill. I have smoked and grilled on this Yoder YS480 about 10 times in the last 2 weeks and it has performed beyond expectations. Today will be my first pork butt on the Yoder.
I had a 6 lbs pork butt in the freezer so thawed it, rubbed it last night with the wife's "special" rub and put it on the smoker this morning. Decided to let it go for the day at 225° with apple and cherry pellets. I have an outdoor video camera that is temporarily aimed at my Maverick ET-732 so I can keep an eye on the temps throughout the day via my cellphone. Technology is great!
Enjoy the view!
Fired up the smoker with a set temp of 225°.
Within 4 minutes, TBS!
Pre-heat 30 mins. Meat on the smoker at 7:30a MST.
After 4 hours, IT at 138°. Smoker temp 233°. All lookin' good!
Snapshot of my Maverick via Internet IP Camera. Looks like the dreaded "stall" may be upon me.
About 8 hrs elapsed time.
After 14 hrs on the Yoder ... bark view looks great. No foil time.
Pulled nicely and had a good smoke ring.
A few "Jo Jo" potatoes with a drizzle of John Hardy's sauce ...
Thanks for looking!
