    PORK BUTT COMPARISON TEST

    The salt for the brine does not leave a lot of salty flavor. It helps to maintain the moisture in the butt. I have been smoking for about 6 months and my pulled pork is actually my first taste of pulled pork, so I really do not have a lot of flavor experience to draw upon. The dark beer also...

    PORK BUTT COMPARISON TEST

    Well, I restored the drippings, applied the finishing sauce and my final decision is that I like the brine method better and will continue that method. There is something in the brine that I really like. The flavor from the dark beer, vinegar, and brown sugar lingers on after the brine and...

    PORK BUTT COMPARISON TEST

    Pork butt just finished at 195* in 9 hours. It has a nice smoke ring and is nicely moist. The difference from the brined is the flavor. More of the pork flavor comes through without the brine.

    PORK BUTT COMPARISON TEST

    OVER NIGHT SMOKIN PORK BUTT.

    One of my best efforts. As I get to know my smoker the process gets more enjoyable and the meat gets sweeter. Did a 3 day brine and used  a vinegar based finishing sauce. It finished out moist, tender, great bark and a nice smoke ring.

    Smoking pork butt

    WOW!!! Great smoke ring.  I'm with you on doing the rub, closing the smoker door and letting that "PORKY" reach desired temp. Always comes out moist with a great bark.

    Smoking pork butt

    Looks really good. Nice Bark and I like the flavor of brown suger. I may lace my rub with a little more brown suger on my next smoked pork butt.
