Double butt Sunday

[philpom]

We ran Saturday to repair a little free library we run and stopped by Kroger to pick up the pork ribs they had on sale and wouldn't ya know it, They had pork butt for $.99/lb. Had to grab 2 of them, about 20 pounds.

Skipped Sunday school after church to make sure I had time to pull it off today.

Rubbed them down with GPR #86 and hit them with some Montreal seasoning. No binder needed.

Threw them in to the offset and let them rock. Used a combo or post oak, hickory, and pecan for this session. Sprayed them down with apple cider vinegar throughout.

I run with no deflector or plate and that makes the little spot near the fire box a perfect place to make lunch!

Along the way Mrs philpom whipped up some scratch mac&cheese, that baked in the smoker for some time.

After about 5 hours the pork probed around 160°f and being a short day I did something I rarely do, I wrapped and cranked up the heat. 2 hours later they shredded up nicely.

I'll vacuum seal this in 1 lb bags tomorrow (of course a few pounds will go to the neighbor). For tonight it's gonna be mac&cheese with pulled pork and a few hot peppers from the garden!
Cheers

Looks great! I'd have restocked my freezer in that price.

Hey Jim, my little brother lives in Centerton, right up the road from you. He shops a store called 10Box. He says it's the best price in the area. Looks like there is one in Roger's and one in Springdale. This week the special is bone in center cut pork chops or country style pork ribs $1.55/lb.

10Box Cost-Plus - for Store 4

Maybe this will be helpful.

Thank you for the compliment.

The Montreal seasoning on top of pork run really builds up the crust and adds that "something extra" the the flavor. I'd give it a try.

Nice Butt! Looks like a winner of a cook. Good work!

My freezer is full, I'm struggling to find room for the 1 lb bags I'm sealing tonight. I've got a buddy looking for a larger chest freezer for me, then I can smoke even more and fill it up in about a week. Oh, and the wife, she'll sniff out those sales.

PP, Excellent looking pulled pork and sausages. I love your crust !

 

[Steve H]

Excellent work! I have to remember the Montreal idea!

I've learned that once it hits 160-170, wrapping and cranking up the heat does not hurt a thing as far as juiciness.

I think you are right, I am just normally content to be lazy and hands off until it's done. As little as it is - it's a pain to pull it, wrap it, and stick it back in. I know, that's pretty lazy. On some occasions like this one I was very short on time.
