20 lbs of butt

[irishteabear]

Smoking two 10lb butts today. It was 17 F out with a wind chill factor of -2 when I started the coals this morning at 6am. Winds are anywhere from 25 - 35 mph. Good thing the Bandera is heavy, wouldn't want to have to be chasing the smoker around. Brrrr Nellie!

Even with gloves on my fingers were hurting by the time I got back inside.



Butts were rubbed and injected with ShooterRick's SBC. Will be smoking at 250 (hopefully) with a mix of white oak and cherry.

Dawn,
We will think warm thoughts for you today!

Good Luck with those monsters Dawn, We're getting the same weather but with a ton of lake effect.
I'm looking forward to the finished Q-view

 

[scarbelly]

They look great Dawn - good luck with the weather

 

[the dude abides]

Hope everything goes well. Stay inside as much as you can.

Looking good Dawn. How's the smoker holding temps?

 

[mnwalleye]

I put 2 butts on last night and it was -26 w/out the wind. My Mavrick temp remote froze.

 

[irishteabear]

She's holding temps great, hardly any issues at all. Biggest problem is me not paying too much attention to the temp, lol.

 

[miamirick]

that is way too cold to be outside

your title intro was funny, sounds like a rap song title

 

[irishteabear]

Put a pan of Dutch's beans in a little while ago and used my green thermapen to check the temp of the butts. They were both at 152.



Love the color on these!

 

[the dude abides]

Looking good!

Is there a difference with the color of the Thermapens? I was given a black one as a Christmas present.

 

[irishteabear]

As long as it's the same model of thermapen, they all work the same.

You are a brave soul Dawn. I was whining while grilling some burgers.

 

[irishteabear]

Butts are foiled and in the oven, I'm tired and frozen.

 

[DanMcG]

All looks delicious.

 

[scarbelly]

Wow that looks great - Glad you are finally getting warm again

 

[ellymae]

Oh yeah - big difference - the Red and Blue ones are much faster then any other color!

 

[the dude abides]

Great looking pile of meat and beans there Dawn!

for another great looking smoke and done in negative degree weather!
