I finished pulling the pork butt, adding sauce and devouring it. Then I carved up the spatchcocked chickens and we dined. There were rave reviews on all of it. Some preferred the pork, while others thought the chicken was the best they had ever eaten!
Thanks. I did a 10 lb butt yesterday and two spatchcock chickens today. We will eat wll tonight.
I'll definitely try a ham next time. Do you cook it a lot less since they are precooked?
I haven't about cracklin' since I left NC.
I am in the process of prepping 2 spatchcocks right now. I brined 2 birds yesterday, rubbed them down with Jeff's rub (it is great), Saran wrapped them, and they are resting. I plan to start the smoker at 2:00 to steady the temp around 280 degrees. I'll send pix when we are done. I also smoked...
Being from NC, I am an Eastern NC BBQ fanatic. I love doing pulled pork but no red sauce is allowed within 100 yards of REAL NC BBQ. I enjoy doing pork butts/Boston butts, but I miss the pieces of skin which are in the best BBQ. Can I use a different piece pork which still has skin? Will I cook...
Great article!!
Being from NC, I grew up with "smokin' hawgs" at church dinners and picnics. I also cut my teeth on Parker's, Scott's, Wilbur's, and even Smithfield BBQ and have always loved the Eastern NC BBQ. No red sauce is allowed within 100 yards of REAL NC BBQ. The question I have is I...
I would never inject a pork butt you are going to pull. There is nothing worse than smoking for 10+hours and then find you have mushy meat. As SQUIB said use the drippings after the fact; it has much better flavor.
I always use the disposable pans, but I never throw them away until I catch all those luscious drippings. It keeps the smoker clean and provides some mighty fine flavoring for other dishes.
Hi, Jerry. Welcome to SMF. The reason I double wrap the butt in tin foil and wrap it in a towel and then put it a cooler for several hours, is to let the juices set. It also continues to cook but the real reason is to get the very best MOIST pork butt ever. Try it, I know you will tell a...
Squib, as usual you are remarkable. The tutorial and the pix were so great, I may try these instead of the brisket chili I have planned for our Super Bowl Party!
Keep these coming!

I started with a 9 1/2 lb Pork butt and spread mustard on it to hold the rub. I then applied Jeff's rub and saran wrapped it overnight. I came home from work early and prepped the Oklahoma Joe smoker to 235 degrees and loaded that pretty butt on.
She smoked for 8 hours until bed time. I then...

I hope you love your Okie Joe as much as I do mine. My plates only have holes in them after the first 1 1/2 ft and then like yours, they go from small to larger. I also spread the last three sheets out with a little more space as they near the chimney.
Good luck and have fun.
