Just bought a pack of butts . 19 lbs for the 2 pieces . I trimmed one down just on the fat cap. It had about 10 ounces to much of that thick fat I didn't particularly like. So tomorrow it goes on the ECB with some basic rub on. About 8.75 I'm thinking.

Gonna do an overnight rub. do SPOG and brown sugar.. Some heat and dry mustard.

Making a sauce with cider vinegar and ketchup . Some yellow mustard and brown sugar. The spog and heat also, cayenne .. Cooked to combine .
 
Hickory I guess Will do nice. 6 hours smoke probably.. chunks will be tossed in once an hour or so. Expect this big boy to go 14 hours. Will start it on at about 7 a.m. I think.
it's for Sunday dinner . Going to take it into work I think on Monday in my crock pot. Take a couple pkgs of cheap buns in too. Let people try some real smoked pulled pork.


Edit for wood changes.. haha
(Been convinced to change to Apple chunks)

This load of charcoal only lasted 8 hours at 225° . Just added some more charcoal onto a bunch of tiny embers left in the bottom. The pork butt is at 195 now and the juice is looking good coming to the surface. I'm not wrapping this or putting it in a pan . I will wrap it and put it in the cooler for a couple hours however , when it comes out.. Couple hours it should be done I hope.

I don't know if I should bother deglazing this black stuff in the bottom of the drip pan. It's mostly burnt on sugar and fat in there.
 
Finished.
