Dueling butts

[myownidaho]

Freddy's had bone in pork butts for $1.79 a pound. My neighbor across the street has been bugging me to smoke one for him so I grabbed two that each weighed exactly 7.5#.

Basic rub, injected with apple juice and into the fridge overnight.

We had a cool breeze today, so I never got all the way to 250. I also didn't wrap this time. It took a full eleven hours to get to 203 IT.

Foil, towel, into a cold oven for a rest. I ended up cutting off a hunk early because it was getting late and food was required. The rest is still sitting in the oven for a bit longer. Probably not my best PP but still fit the bill quite nicely.

Looks good to me.  

11 hours is good to me.  I set the mini temp and go to bed.

HOW did you find 2 at the same weight????

Sheer dumb luck. What they had available ranged from 7.3# to 7.6#. I took the two that weighed 7.5#.

Thanks, Gary! It's only because I didn't let it rest as long as I should, so it wasn't as tender as I would have liked. I will reheat the rest of the wrapped butt and that should take care of it.
