Now that is a nice looking butt you have there! I'll be doing one this weekend also. ; )

 

[teacup13]

nice looking butt you have there....

butts are very forgiving.... you dont need luck, you have all of us.... biggest thing you have to remember is the plateau.... and lots of patience

on trying your first butt

 

[msmith]

Dang lisa did you soak that butt in apple juice first?

 

[bbq bubba]

That is one fantastic lookin butt

I know you got the basics so just let us know how it goes and keep up the great pic's...and good luck

 

[lisacsco]

nope, I didnt do that. Is that what you do?

Lisa

 

[msmith]

I know I'm different from probably everyone else but when it comes to pork I will soak it in apple juice before any spices ever touch it. To me the juice pulls out a lot of the salt and gives the meat a sweeter taste. Yes I know your thinking a Texan that don't Like Hot Spicy and Salty but I like sweet mine sweet.

 

[lisacsco]

Well, I'll remember that tip about the apple juice. Is there alot of natural salt in the butts?

 

[lisacsco]

Well, I got that thing in the smoker at 5:30 this monring and it is setting at 250*, or it still better be when I go back down stairs to check it. It is cold outside this morning...brrr...

I was going to go naked, but as long as it is taking I am thinking of foiling it at 170...what would you do?
