6.33 lbs Butt

[mike243]

OK throwed Rub Some Butt on a butt that was slathered with yellow mustard.Fired up the pellet burner set at smoke #6 and will run it for 2-3 hrs then move to 225 or so,any body want to hazard a guess as to when it might hit 205?,I put both probes in 1 on each side of the bone just to see what the outcome will be.Fat side down this time

M243,Looking good ,my guess is 10.15 hours !:)

I'm going to say it was 6am when I loaded it as the pit wasn't all the way heated up/stable,will be very happy with your estimate is the winner

Just kicked it up to 225,2 cups of Nantucket blend coffee down the hatch,kitchen detail until the dew burns off the grass so I can mow,over 18 hrs OT so not much outside work done this week

M243, Wrapping will make a difference if you are pressed for time .250* will help also!

I'm guessing closer to 12.

Not time issues and leaving naked testing going to cook a big load for my wife’s family for a birthday on the 4th of July probably

I'm guessing about a 12 hour smoke, maybe longer!

I'm guessing your looking at 14 to 15 with that 2-3 hours of low temp smoke.

[mike243]

168 kicked it up to 250,looking awesome

This is the first time I have smoked over 4 hrs ,I don't think a stick burner would have done a lot more smoke at 225 ,a lot of smoke at 250 also which I like to see,at 350 cooking chicken 1/2s it gives a gentle taste of smoke,not sure how this will turn out but wont be lacking smoke flavor for most folks

Pulled at a little after 5 203 temp

Results tell, looks great! We follow a similar process, 2 hrs on low smoke then bump to 250º. Always turns out great!

Looks excellent. I'd say you have it dialed in.

Thanks it turned out pretty good,think I will go back to my home brew rub,Has some brown sugar in it which the Butt rub didn't and don't think it will hurt my sugar level much,it pulled easy with a set of bear claws,the fat layer that was left on it was put on the bottom and it was crispy,worked well with this smoker and will continue to do that. On my other smokers I didn't find that it made a difference but must be little more heat on the bottom with this 1 or a little less fat every where else :)
