BD's Butt with Home Made Buns

[bdskelly]

The kids are coming over today and phoned me yesterday on the Menu request.  "Dad, how about pulled pork tacos and sandwiches?" Sure kids... No problem... So I zipped to the store and found a nice 10 pounder. Back home, I gave it a wash and trimmed of the loose bits.

I injected this pig with Butchers Pork injection mix. I'm a big fan of all Butchers products. I am switching the rub to a spicy garlic. ( I usually use Jeffs on all of my pork.)  I put the butt in the smoker at 220 degrees at 8pm.

At 8am the next morning the Butt has an internal temp if 169.  Still a ways to go so I think I'll make some buns for those that prefer sammies over tacos.

Place those great smelling hot buns on a wire rack to cool. I like to use an electric knife to cut bread. ...because I am lazy...

• Okay... With the buns out of the way I need to go check my butt. ( Insert joke  here about me not being able to find my butt with both hands) 

I'll check back with you in a bit... I think I deserve a brewski... b

Pp tacos sound relish! Hopefully there will be tasty toppings!

I changed my Buns from 8 to 12, and may even go to 16 next time.  Folks have one and its so good they just gotta have another, their eyes are bigger than their stomach. Half a sandwich is left. I don't mind the bread, but I have other things I like to do with left over PP.  LOL..... so with a smaller bun if they want to eat 3, or 4 its cool, but theres a lot less potential waste with smaller buns.

I think maybe it was SQWIB who told me that first......

Nice looking butt, and you cheat! A dough hook!

Great looking job so far Brian.

GREAT idea Kev... PP Sliders!!!  Next time for sure.  We are at 189 and holding...  Think I'll pull it at 6 more degrees. The natives are restless . As for me I'll just have another Miller. What going on down there brother? b

BTW. The Houma fishing trip now turned out to be a Destin fishing trip. So you're off the hook. ...Now I just need to find a Floridian to invite fishing so he will clean my fish!

And, I'd say that the garlic rub was an awesome change. Not as sweet but still great flavor.
