Hey All,
Tomorrow for my sons birthday party I am planning on smoking 3 butts. Right now they have been in the refrigerator since Tuesday morning (Should have pulled them out Monday morning or even Sunday night). It is looking like in a couple hours here will have to get them under some cold water to help finish thawing them, then get them rubbed up and ready to go on the pit at 0100 tomorrow morning.
Thanks for looking, will update later with pics, and possibly need to post some other long over due posts from recent cooks as well.
Plan:
Traeger Pro 34
Temperature: 225
50/50 mix of Pecan/Cherry Pellets
3 - Pork Butts averaging 7.5lbs
Apply Mustard to help the rub stick to the butts
Rub: Smokin Guns BBQ Hot
Finishing Sauce: JJ's Finishing Sauce
Sides:
Dutch's 'Wicked Baked Beans'
Potato Salad
Watermelon
Corn on the Cob
Macaroni shrimp salad
Chips
Saturday 8.26.2017
0055: Fired up the pit
0110: Temperature 225, Butts in (monitoring pit temp only)
0730: Temperature of Butts 143 (placed meat probe in meat, set alarm for 205)
0840: Bumped up pit temp to 250
1032: Temperature 161, placed butts in roasting pans with apple juice, and foiled
1345: Temperature 204, took off smoker double wrapped in foil and towels and into the cooler for a few hours (bone is falling out on its own meat is moist and tender)
1347: Took temp of pit down to 225 and put the Dutch's "wicked baked beans" on for 3 hours
Total Cook Time For all 3 Pork Butts: 12 hrs 35 min
