Just Another Butt on the Offset

[GaryHibbert]

Nice job, Ray. That butt looks delicious, and you sure got some great bark.
Glad to see that, after the whiskey, you weren't so confused that you putt the wrong butt in the freezer.

Nice cook . Sandwich looks great . Hard to beat the flavor of cooked with all wood . I've been drying peppers last couple days for powder . The maters are great ground up to mix with it .

Thanks Rich! I'm going to try grinding some of the dried maters to add to plain Alfredo sauce, already we can't find it in the stores any longer. Thanks for the Like Rich, I do appreciate it! RAY

Color on that butt is awesome ray. Nice work bud

Thanks Jake, I was darned happy and a butt is the gift that keeps on giving. RAY

fine looking pork butt Ray! Bet your stick burner was glad to be in use again. Sounds like a good day all the way around...both your butt and you were well seasoned at the end of the day! Ryan

Thanks Ryan, it felt great to fire up the offset again and spend the day tending the fire and doing some booze! Thank you for the Like, I do appreciate it! RAY

Your butt looks great Ray! Good color on the bark too!! I could go for one of those sandwiches.

Thanks Joe, by the time it was over a simple sanny was about the only thing I could pull off, but it was darned good! Thanks for the Like Joe, I do appreciate it! RAY

Ray, From the the looks of it, that long day paid off. That bark is to die for. Nicely done my friend. Stuart

Thanks you Stuart! I'm really looking forward to the day we AZ boys can get together for a social and a cook! Thanks for the Like Stuart, it is much appreciated! RAY

Great looking butt Ray. That bark is nice! Glad to see the stick burner in action!

Thanks John, it was a great day to get in some smoking, dehydrating, and pickling (me)! Just ordered some wood from Cabelas it's getting to be the smokin' time of year here in AZ! Thanks for the Like Amigo, it is much appreciated. RAY

Sure looks good RAY! Cant beat a day of cooking and throwing back a few drinks! I keep telling myself I need to try out your chicken sausage. I might need to get some matters into the dehydration station this weekend lol.

Thanks Travis, it's pretty tough to beat a day smokin' in the backyard and knocking a few back, if only the pool was heated! That chicken sausage is a huge fan favorite, I usually pork for me and the chicken for my wife, then take a bite of hers and wonder why I don't eat the stuff more often, it's a delicious change. Thanks for the Like Travis, I do appreciate it! RAY

Great looking PP there. Do you think that sealing the butt at a lower temp kept it from drying out? Warren

Thank you Warren! I start smoking the butt at the lower temp to get good smoke penetration for flavor, and I guess that helps seal it also. Thanks for the Like Warren, much appreciated! RAY

Nice job, Ray. That butt looks delicious, and you sure got some great bark.

Thanks Gary, the only problem I ran into was not feeling like the sharpest tool in the box the next morning! Thank you for the Like Gary, I do appreciate it! RAY

Butts...

That's one fine looking chunk of pork meat right there Ray. I know it was an all day ordeal but worth it in the end. Great job buddy!! I'd started running my temps higher...in the 275 range for butts and briskets before I read Chile's post and after that I'm running 325 to 350. That's about maxed out for my smoker but it still turns out some great Q and does it a lot faster.

Thank you so much Robert! I'm an absolute convert now, hot and fast saves a ton of time and flavor in the end product isn't compromised one little bit. I don't know if I'll ever smoke another brisket with all that going on, I don't have use of the leftovers like I get from a porkbutt. Thanks you for the Like amigo, I truly do appreciate it! RAY
