Maple Syrup and Sesame Oil rubbed butt - Q-View
Nashville. Normally, the only place more expensive is Wild Oats, where you have to take out a second mortgage to shop there. However, Kroger is running their Boston butt at $2.79. Strange. I guess they're hoping for a good run up to Labor Day. Maybe the normal Harris Teeter shopper has their... -

12:47 - air temp's at 190. Might have to stoke a fire pretty soon. Guess it will depend on where the butt's at at 1:15. I'm hoping that the temp holds to 185 by then. Fire's really starting to flag (as am I!) Time to light another cigar...have another sip of brandy...stay strong and not lift... -
My Saturday 2nd butt - w/qview
Nothing wrong with a long night. Hang in there buddy, I'm right there wit' ya! -

12:15. Air temp around 225. Just took a butt temp (as opposed to an oral temp!). It was 155, so I"m off the plateau for the moment. Here's the potential problem. Since my fire is at a lower ebb at this point, I expect the temp to drop fairly quickly. I don't really want to kick it up too much... -
1st Butt w/ Qview
Phew indeed. A little over 2 hours per pound. Not that there's anything wrong with that :g:. I really hope that you'll break out the Weber and see how my process works for you. No rush though. Whenever you feel like it! I need someone else to check out my findings. PS, it's 12:15 and internal... -
2 more butts for race day....
Looking good! Does it jiggle while you wiggle? (sorry, got the jello commercial on my mind). -

1st Butt w/ Qview
What was your total time? Not that it's a race or anything :chuckle: I hope that, if my second butt comes out well, that you'll be someone willing to test my process. No one else seems to want to :g:. -

11:30. Air temp is at 250. At 5hr. 45 min, we're at a meat temp of 150. So we're sittin' at the plateau. Looks like we're still about an hour ahead of schedule. Time to add some more wood chips to get a little flame going and button up the ole kettle for a while. -
Maple Syrup and Sesame Oil rubbed butt - Q-View
Started a new small fire at 10:25 and foiled at 150 internal temp. Took a couple of pics as well. I posted an update at Solar's thread but forgot that I had copied it and used copy in the interim. So it's all there if you folks want to read it :g: I added the rest of my reserved marinade and... -
Pulled pork FLUB!!!
I think it's more that you didn't quite go all the way (you know what I mean). That last 5 - 10 degrees makes all of the diff. Of course, resting helps as well. It helps redistribute the juices and keeps it moist. The wrapping in towels and cooler is a way to make sure that it rests over a good... -
1st Butt w/ Qview
Looking great Solar! BTW, I'm at 4 hrs and 15 minutes for a 6.7 lb butt. I just checked the temp and I'm at 150. So I'm building a small fire in the chimney (probably about a 1/5 capacity). I'm going to give it one more good smoking session before I foil it. The coals should be ready in 5 or 10... -
Maple Syrup and Sesame Oil rubbed butt - Q-View
At 4 hours, the temp is now 210. I need to get some more smoke back up, so I'm going to throw more chips on the fire and mop again. When the chips ignite, it will drive the temps up a little. guess I'll check meat temp while I'm at it and take a pic. Be back in a few with a pic and an update... -
Grilled Porterhouse steak
There's a very easy way to do it by touch. This is as good of an explanation as I've read. http://www.cleveland.com/fathersday/...250.xml&coll=2 After trying it with a few steaks, you'll get a feel for how it feels when you press the steak and you won't have to use your hand anymore. -
Maple Syrup and Sesame Oil rubbed butt - Q-View
Yes, it could be a Frankenstein of butts. So far, I've found that by using this method, you shave an hour or more off of the cooking time. And you still end up with a great pull. Now I know that for many, reducing the cooking time isn't important - in fact, it's almost a heresy. Several things... -

At 8:10, I cracked the top and added more chips (a small handful of mix). I decided to break down at 8:20 and take a meat temp. The air temp was at 300. Meat temp was 130. As you can see, it's not like it's overcooking or anything. At this time, I added more chips. Here's a pic I took (top was... -
Maple Syrup and Sesame Oil rubbed butt - Q-View
Well, we'll see what we end up with in the end, won't we? My method is really a cross between the two. The low and slow part comes in the last half. Here's the way I look at it. 350 sounds like a high temp, but it's not really a roasting temp. Roasting usually happens at 400 - 500 degrees. And... -
Question for Everyone
I take it off of the foil and put it on a cutting board to pull. I then take all of the juices and fat and put it in a saucepan and add more rub, some commercial BBQ sauce, some chile pepper extract (very little since I have some with millions of scoville units), ketchup, vinegar, apple juice... -

7:20 and temp is still 340 but I don't see a lot of smoke so I've added some fresh chips on top of the coals and have a nice smoke working again. Kept the lid off for about 30 seconds. After a couple of minutes, the temp is around 330. And here are the pics: And now, going to kick... -

6.78 lb butt at $1.79 per lb. at Harris Teeter (if you can believe that!) Nicely marbled, this is what it looks like top and bottom:(ed. note - see pic in next post) Opened right out of a 37 degree refrigerator and rubbed first with light colored sesame oil (room temp) and then fresh maple...
