I hope you all are experiencing great weather similar to how it's been in NE Indiana for the weekend - Sunny & hot, perfect Holiday Weekend weather! I smoke a bone-in butt for pulled pork every Memorial Day and this year's looks amazing so I thought I would share. I coated with mustard and applied rub around noon yesterday and into the fridge it went. I took it out and added more rub last night around 8 while the smoker was finishing it's climb to the 260 degree range. I wanted to try the hot and fast method from
SmokinAl
but I knew it would be finished too soon. That's ok because it gives me a reason to do another one soon! Onto the smoker at 8:20PM last night it went. Exactly 12 hours later it came off at 8:20A this morning. My Maverick only went off once last night due to the WSM being 1 degree above my upper temp threshold so I closed the one open vent just a little and went back to sleep until it went off this morning at the 10 degrees-til-finish alarm.
This was my second cook with Royal Oak briquettes and I've been VERY impressed after some recent strings of strange events with KBB. I had almost sworn of KBB until I went to Home Depot yesterday and they had two packs of 18.6 lbs bags of briquettes for $9.98.
Here's some pictures I took along the way. Have a safe and Happy Memorial Day weekend. Many thanks to those who have served and those who are currently serving this great
Nation!
One last picture before sleeping in the smoke.
I did spritz on the hour for the first five hours but didn't take any pictures. Here's one of the finished product before pulling it, wrapping it, and placing into a cooler to rest.
