    First Pork Butt

    Yep looks good. I did my 1st yesterday and the bone didn't come out either. What type of wood were you using for the smoke?

    My 1st Pork Butt finally on the grill.

So far am I 1hr and 20mins behind schedule as my grill blew up on temp when I went into the house to put the final coat of rub on it. Temp was up to 280 and I couldn't get the Akorn back...

    Boston Butt Pulled Pork (Step by Step)

    Ok Bear I will be trying this tomorrow. This will be the 1st thing I have ever tried to smoke and will be the 1st thing on my new Akorn. Your step by step is making me not as nervous but I still wondering if I can pull off a good one. I will post some pictures if I think things are going well.
