Went to a BBQ class last year. They smoked Hot and Fast !!
So I will see if it can be done in 5 hours like his web site says it can..
I have smoked butts between 275 and 300 before . My target temp
will be 350 to 375. The guy who ran it said that the meat don't know
the difference between smoking at 225 or 300 + .
I used my reg. rub that has a lot of brown sugar in it. ( hope it don't burn)
smoking it in a pan with the fat cap down (to help protect from the high heat)
using my UDS. Hoping I can get the temp up to 350 and hold it there.
keeping a log of the smoke . updating it every 15 minutes.
will go to IT of 205. no foil , smoking it with Mesquite chunks
this is the first time using sand in a bowl (instead of water)
so here we go>>>> went to Schnucks this morning got a 9lb butt for $1.29lb
got home at 11AM. went out and lit 3/4 chimney starter . went back in rub the butt down.
went back out got my UDS out of the shed . filled the basket with unlit coals and wood.
put sand in the bowl and cover it with foil. got the butt on at 11:45
not much of a fat cap.
this is the bowl of sand with foil covering it. first time using sand instead of water.
went ahead and probed the butt right away. Going hot and fast I won't have to worry
about the 4 hour rule.
here we go. smoke starting to roll .
now the butts been on for an hour and half . mark down every 15 min. what
the smoker temp is and the butt temp. the smoker took awhile to get up to what I want.
think the sand kept the temp down until it heated up.
at 11:45 the smoker was at 225 and the meat was 43
at 1:15 the smoker was at 345 and the meat was 95.
the smoker temp climb was slower then I wanted but again I think the sand had to heat up.
at two hours I will go take a picture of the butt .
well , thanks for looking , check back later and see if it I get it done in 5 hours.
