Llewellyn PA aka God's Country
Since the weather here in God's Country, PA feels more like hell than heaven the last 2 weeks, I am planning on smoking a pork butt I found in the freezer this week overnight. Average temps here have been in the mid-90's with about 85-90% humidity consistently. As a humorous aside, the gauge read 165° when I took the cover off the WSM a few minutes ago. Shouldn't need much charcoal....

Enough complaining about the weather, let's start the show.

Butt rubbed with a twist on my usual rub to incorporate more heat. I'll post the recipe in a separate post in this thread.



Going to park the meat back in the fridge until about 9-930 pm when hopefully the temps will drop below 90° and I can actually stand being outside. Until then, there are a few cold Bud Lites calling my name in the cooler.

Stay tuned!
 
Pork rub with a spicy twist recipe:

1/3c Salt*
1/3c Brown Sugar
1/3c Paprika
3T Black Pepper
1T Granulated Garlic
1T Onion Powder
1t Cayenne
1t Celery Salt
1t Ground Cumin

*Normally I just use kosher salt here but today I changed it up a bit and divided the 1/3c of salt into equal parts: kosher salt, some alderwood smoked salt I found in the spice cabinet and stuff called Fire Salt I picked up at a beer & wine festival earlier this summer. This stuff packs some good heat, I think with the Cayenne I'll get the heat profile.

 
The weather has been pretty thick here as well. Nothing like a nice overnighter!
 
Looks like you are going to have a pretty fun night.
I'll be watching.

It's a barrel of fun here.... I'm designing the invitations for my sister in law's bridal shower on my laptop (and pounding beers)

This was all a lot easier when my better half thought I actually had to watch the fire for hours. Her buying me the WSM was a blessing and a curse.
 
Looks like an awesome start TTTT ! Thumbs Up I'll have to try that rub recipe sometime soon, looks like a good one ! That spiced salt looks interesting too !

The spiced salt was coincidence.... I was standing by the bathroom waiting for the better half to get out of the bathroom at the beer fest and saw it for sale. 9 bucks seemed like a great deal after numerous 10-12% abv beers.... Now since I know a tsp is good for some heat, it was an even better deal.

WSM cruising right along. That cooker rocks. It will teach you patience because you don't have to mess with anything.

Hope the weather clears for you. Sounds like Florida weather with storms popping up out of nowhere.
