Boston Butts on the "Big Bertha"

[Hawging It]

Well, I haven't fired off Big Bertha in a long time. I picked up a 2 pack of hawg meat and cranked her up! Total weight 18 pounds. All hickory splits and no charcoal. 250 degrees until internal was 210. No wrapping. I had forgotten how easy she is to smoke on even though she's a fatty at 1,100 pounds. Once heated up she will maintain. They turned out just right with a perfect amount of smoke flavor. Not overpowering but just right. Chopped it all up, vac packed and delivered it to 2 of my neighbors down the road. Both are elderly gents and love my smoked hawg meat. Take care and keep on smoking!!

A little mustard binder

Moderate dusting with AP seasoning then heavy with the Killer Hogs Rub

Let em sweat for a while

Time for the apple juice spritzing. About every 2 hours

She never let's me down

Perfect TBS

Love the bark

All chopped and ready

Hawg...nice looking batch of PP but more importantly is the gesture of helping your elderly neighbors. That's just plain cool and a downright good thing to do.

Thanks. It's the way I learned @ 15 years old. Other than a Weber Kettle, I don't know any other way to do it.

Thank you. I agree. Never owned a Lang or Yoder but I think she stacks up well with those in my view. She's a monster but easy to maintain heat. No fiddling all the time with it.
