Morning smokers. Smoked a pork butt Saturday and just now getting around to posting it.

Got up about 5am Saturday morning and fired up the smoker. While waiting for it to come to temp I got out the butt and rubbed it down with The Gospel from Meat Church.

After the smoker reached 225° it was time to put the butt on. I used hickory and cherry mixed.

After 2 hours I spritzed with apple juice every hour.

About 6 hours in IT was 158° and stalled out

At that time I threw it in an aluminum pan and fouled the top. Didnt get a pic but yall know what foil looks like. If not use your imagination.

After 5ish hours the IT was 205° and my probe test went in like butter. I took it out of the pan and double wrapped in foil and put into cooler with towels for about an hour and a half. Saved my pan juices for later in a jar in the fridge so fat could separate from juice.

After I pulled I mixed in a couple tsp of the pork juice I saved and a dash of rub and tossed it all together.

Some chips and tater salad and it was time to eat

Vac sealed leftovers sunday after round 2 of pulled pork sandwiches after church. Here is the jar of separated pork juice. Scrapped off the fat and added a couple tsp of the pork "jelly" to each bag. This help keep pork moist when reheated for another meal.
