2 Butts on the Smokin-it #3

[bordercollie]

 I smoked 2 butts yesterday on the #3.  They weighed about 6 and 7 lbs and smoked at 225  for about 12 hrs till 195 IT. They were moist and very tender with a light smoke flavor. I may use more wood next time though. I love the tender shredded meat.  I did brine overnight in a cure/garlic powder solution and then used a mustard rub with southwestern rub when it went into the smoker. Nice bark and the bone just fell out with  no resistance. I put in pan/old corningware during last 2 hrs  and poured over a little apple juice.   rested and shredded. Yum

I agree pulled is alot better than chopped. I like the big chunks that are so juicy. great looking butt. chopped just dries out then you have to cover it in sauce

Thank ya'll.. We took some pp to a sick friend and her family, and had sandwiches with slaw and  bbq beans as well. I was sure proud we had it because the weather turned wet and bad then we lost power yesterday afternoon and well into the night.. To top it all off, we had to do unexpected cow stuff last night  in the  chilly rain with flashlights. -(getting a cow up in the field that had twins)  It was sure nice to have a good hot  pulled pork sandwich by candlelight.    judy
