    Smoking pork butt roast for first time Saturday.

    I worried I never mentioned the weight, so I went back to check, that's how I knew it was post 18:-) You are right about bone in or out if it's only for personal cooking. And for me, I will never think I'm good enough to try and cook in compititions, so do what you want. It's all good and all...

    Smoking pork butt roast for first time Saturday.

    Ha! That fat cap was so good. I had to sit down while I was eating it :-) I have a family ly of four so we will eat off of this for a few days. The kids love it too. My picky son had two plates full last night, so only sharing with the family, but I would love to bring some to work, but it seems...

    Smoking pork butt roast for first time Saturday.

    Hi daRicksta On post 18 I did mention the weight. It was an 8 pound butt with the bone in. When it was finally finished the bone came out as clean as you could get it. I would not get a pork roast without the bone in my opinion as I think the bone gives it added flavor. Others my think...

    Smoking pork butt roast for first time Saturday.

    Ha :-) Yes it was just patients, and it was well worth the extra time. I've never tried slaw on top of pulled pork. My wife and I were talking about wanting to try it last night. Here in Oklahoma we drizzle BBQ sauce over it. I currently am using "head country". It's a very nice sauce. What kind...

    Smoking pork butt roast for first time Saturday.

    The pork butt hit the IT 205 after 14 hours of being on the smoker. I took it out and it was perfect. I wrapped it for a few hours and then pulled it. I forgot to take pictures, sorry, but the whole family loved it. We had it for lunch and dinner. Thank you all so much for all your help and...

    Smoking pork butt roast for first time Saturday.

    Wow! This is great. Thanks for showing me. I couldn't for the life of me imagine what you meant by mailbox. Lots of things to consider. You don't have to worry about the smoking going out the front of the mailbox? Thanks again Mike

    Smoking pork butt roast for first time Saturday.

    The fatty was in for two hours. The picture was taken at that point. The butt is still in. The IT is at 183 at the moment and it has been in now for 11 1/2 hours. I'm just being patient. I still have it at 250 for heat temp. Im wondering if I should lower it now? Mike

    Smoking pork butt roast for first time Saturday.

    Thanks everyone. I woke up late and didn't get the butt on the until 7:30. I did not cut in half. I put a fatty in too. My wife isn't happy that I will be doing this all day. So I'm sure if I don't order the amazen pellet she will. I already am figuring the butt will be for tomorrow's dinner...

    Smoking pork butt roast for first time Saturday.

    Thanks. I don't know what you are meaning by a "mailbox mod" What kind of ABTs are you making? My wife loved the chicken tonight and the kids didn't believe I had made it at first. My son said I must of bought it at Dinks (a really good local smoke pit restaurant). Thanks again all Mike

    New MES question about wood chips

    I bought my butt roast. It's a 8 lb roast. I still don't have the A-maz-N pellet smoker yet. So will still be using wood chips. How long should I burn ships for? I was thinking a half cup every hour for five hours. Will this be too much or not enough? Thanks Mike

    Smoking pork butt roast for first time Saturday.

    Hi everyone, I will be smoking a pork butt roast for the first time Saturday. Do you all have any tips for a newby? I will be doing it on 250 for 1.5 hours per pound. Figuring on mustard and rub the night before. Figuring once IT gets 165 covering it with foil until IT 205. Figuring on hickory...
