Hello all. New to this fourm but have been lurking a long time soaking up information. Today I am cooking a pork butt keeping the kettle around 275-300. Seasoned it last night and wrapped in seran wrap in the fridge overnight. Than put a fresh coat on before throwing it on the kettle. Let it sit on the counter for a hour or so getting things ready to smoke.
Every hour to a hour and a half I am checking on it and refilling coals/wood ass needed and spraying with apple juice. My wood of choice today is pecan and apple. I did throw a chunk of post oak on it as well.
About a hour and a half in
Now we are at around 4 hours in. IT is at 150 and the kettle is steady at 295. I plan on wrapping around 165 IT but I will keep an eye.
Doing it in the garage today as its a little rainy today in Wisconsin. This cook is for the ladys familys mothers day gathering tomorrow. Unfortunately I will be at work. Will update when finished! Cheers all!
5 and a half hours in IT hit 160 and it's looking mighty fine to me. Threw it in a pan with its own juices and a bit if apple juice and back on the kettle to finish up
