Another Big Butt Sunday

[SmokeyLee15]

Had some friends over for the races today. Picked up a 10.5lbs Pork Butt from GFS. Trimmed the fat cap to about an 1/8 of an inch. I was talking to guy who has a BBQ joint in Detroit and he said that the only meat he wraps are ribs so I decided NOT to wrap the butt. I used a rub from Buxton Hall BBQ out of Asheville, I went there two weeks ago and everything was amazing! It took about 16 hours to reach temp. Besides taking longer to smoke the main difference was the bark. The bark was amazing, worth the time in my mind. I also made a Peach Bourbon sauce and a Mustard sauce from Buxton Hall as well, both were amazing. Also, made my smokes Mac and Cheese which is always a favorite. When I went to Buxton Hall I had their BBQ pork hash and it was one of the best dishes I have ever had so I plan to save some of the pork for it.

I couldn’t find ‘smoke powder’ so I used smoked paprika and it turned out fine.
