Boston butt over 4th of July
Just checking in, I'm at the four hour mark. It looks good visually. I'm bringing the grill temperature down from 275. Trying to get it in between 225 and 250 starting to drop now. Stuck a probe in the top of the meat and it is reading 160° at the moment. -

Boston butt over 4th of July
Hey Drewed......no, not planning on foiling. However, I do like my marshmallows golden and not black! I'm hoping that running it at 275-285 for the first 3-4 hours might help with the stall. Not sure so just trying it out. I'll back it down to 225-250 after that though. I've got some time... -
Boston butt over 4th of July
Hey Wade! Thanks for checking in. That's a good tip and I'll do that. I also put a "heat shield" on the side closest to the coals now. Just a folded up piece of foil. -

Man there is a lot of debate about KBB. I was worried about the ingredients too for a slow long smoke so I bought Stubbs. Then I had a lot of people telling me the worry about what KBB is made from is over hyped. Man, just not sure which side is right. Oh well, I've come to the conclusion...- nygiant

Boston butt over 4th of July
Well.....its on the grill. Got started around 7am and the butt went on at 7:45. Temp seems to be holding steady. I plan on going at 275 for about 3-4 hours and then back it down to 225-250 for the remainder. Gonna estimate 8-10 hours. Here are some early pics. Hickory and apple chunks... -

Boston butt over 4th of July
I just made my own dry rub last night from a recipe I found on this site. Is that the same as the salt brine or would you do the salt separately and then rub it the next day? I mean, the rub I made does have salt in it. -

Should have asked for a manager. I mean, that's their company policy to do that.- nygiant

Boston butt over 4th of July
Helps for sure, thanks. I seriously had no idea and it never crossed my mind about the temperature probe. Wonder how many people know that or was it just me? I was just going to probe it and put it on the grill. Now I'm not! Also, what is the reasoning for having to get it to 140 in 4 hours... -

New to the site and to smoking
Welcome man! I'm down in VA not too far away. I just joined recently too and learning a lot. I'm doing my very first butt this coming weekend. I don't have a smoker but use my weber 22" kettle. Maybe use wood chunks instead of chips? I think you'd get more smoldering from the chunks... -
Boston butt over 4th of July
Let me ask this. Something I came across while reading. Does it matter when you stick your digital thermometer in the meat? Was reading that if done soon as you put it on that you are pushing bacteria from the probe into the meat or something crazy like that. Person also said if injecting... -
