So...I've done a number of butts, but most often with mopping or spritzing starting after hour 2-4. This time I I want to give the no-mop/no-look method a shot.
Here's my plan, but any suggestions, including "it'll be a disaster :)" replies are always appreciated!
And finally, while it's done when it's done, I am expecting about 12-15 hours to get to 203-205....I think.
Here's my plan, but any suggestions, including "it'll be a disaster :)" replies are always appreciated!
- Fresh pork butt that will be about 8 lbs after some light trimming
- Rub applied 18-24 hours, wrapped in plastic, then in fridge
- Yellow mustard as binder
- Plenty of Adobo Honey Rub (Spiceology) and Voodoo (from Meat Church)
- Not planning on injecting (though I have Butcher's available)
- On the Traeger at 225 with Super Smoke and smoke tubes
- Apple Blend for the pellets
- Hickory/Cherry in the smoke tubes
- Finishing sauce (post-pull)
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 TBS brown sugar
- 2 TBS salt
- 2 tsp cayenne
- 2 tsp red pepper flakes
And finally, while it's done when it's done, I am expecting about 12-15 hours to get to 203-205....I think.
