Yesterday we had a block party so I figured I would show you guys my contributions.
2 9Lb butts went on at 6am and cooked for about 8.5 to 9 hours.
I pulled them out when they hit 160 and the fat cap split, and wrapped them up tight.
Thanks to my thermpro thermometer I was able to keep an eye on things from inside.
When I reached 195° I pulled them out, wrapped them each in a towel and put them in the cooler to rest.
30 min before the party started I took one out and pulled it, saving the other for if I ran out. I didn't, which means 2 gallon ziplocs went into the freezer for enjoyment later.
I served the meat with 3 kinds of home made sauce and a smoked mac and cheese recipe I got off SMF.
The mac and cheese was a hit! Not a morsel left in the pan!
Thanks for all the help on smoking! (even if you didn't know you were giving it;)) Let me know what you think!
