should have submitted it for the throwdown (though I guess this month's requires chicken... hey... eggs are chicken!!!)
Edit - oh - I just noticed this is an old thread... great idea anyway!
Not sure what you mean by wrap... the vacuum packaging was done with a Food Saver.
I used Falconer's post as a guide, but with mustard and treegje's rub. I used Falconer's finishing sauce.
It was pretty darn good. The mustard made it look creepy, but it tasted great.
The finishing sauce...
All right! Butts are done and in the cooler!
I think I made a couple minor mistakes due to not being very confident about what my temperatures were (foiled a bit too early, might have gone a bit above 205 at the end), but I expect it will work out okay. Will put up the final pics when I shred...
Here are some early pictures from today's smoke. There is still a looong way to go.
Meet the meat:
Slathered in mustard and rub (I see now that I probably should have done this last night - oh well):
Into the smoker with you!:
3.5 hour mark.... doing nicely:
Despite the look of things...
Funny - that happened to me this morning (GOSM, with hickory chips from wal mart).
I was getting the smoker up to temp while prepping the meat and when I went to check on it the temp had shot up to 300 and the chips were flaming! (no soak).
I spritzed a little water on them and they went...
nah - (unless I get bored later) - I'm just getting this ready for a 10-day offroad/camping trip to Arizona. I figure I'll vacuum-seal it into portions, maybe freeze it, and then I can just be pulling packets of awesome pork out of the cooler all week
I decided to go early rather than end up...
Awesome - looks great.
Looks very similar to the GOSM I just put together.
Oh - the temp gauge on my door is way off (reads about 50 degrees high) - which apparently is the norm for these things - Get an extra thermometer to put inside the smoker so you'll really know your temps (I hung one...
I'm doing what I'll call a 'test smoke' today on my new GOSM (pics in THIS THREAD ) - just a few turkey legs and chicken legs with a bit of rub on them.
I hope to do a big picnic or butt tomorrow for pulled pork
Anyway - at about the 1 hour point it wasn't really smoking anymore. I took the...
GOT IT!!!
They left the push lock things that hold the thermometer out of the hardware bag so I had to get a bit creative:
Gettin' my SEASON on!
I'm going to do a test smoke tomorrow with some turkey legs and drumsticks.
Assuming that goes well, I'm thinking of trying pulled pork on...
Looks pretty great to me for $100 - but I'm a n00b... so some of the more experienced guys might have a better opinion.
Do you have a truck or a trailer to move it with? Those suckers can be heavy.
