Some exerpts from this recipe's introduction to SMF...(a no-foil pork shoulder smoke)

Brined butts ready to go to hawg heaven:

 

Fat-cap scored and dry rub applied:

 

The big pig is @ 157*, and the smaller one's @ 160*:

 

The slicing subject, just out of the Vault:

 

 
Pulled Pork subject:

25.5 hours and we're into the foil at last...

I preheated a large bath towel in the oven on a pan @ 170* while the butt was creeping over 199* (therm reads decimals), double foiled, wrapped it nice a snug and tossed in the "O" and turned it off. Should be good for at leat 6 hours, so we'll both take a nap now, as it's creeping up on 1:00 am now.
