Pork butts from this last weekend

[reflect]

Hi,

Posted under smokers but thought a cross post was OK in the Pork sub forum. I got a new to me/used large egg this weekend. Following is my first attempt. Everything came out great. I also have a bunch of notes for next smoke on how to do it even better.

Reflect, Thanks for the pics! Never seen an egg in use, only in the stores. Great job on the grub!

Looks great. It is so nice when your plan comes together like that.

Thanks all, I appreciate it!!!

I brought a few pounds in with me today at work. I cheated and nuked it on defrost. I then brought the bowl and a bag of buns over to our work area. It was gone in seconds with a lot of late comers that had long faces on the news of no more ;).

Take care,

Brian

Kind of like being the pied piper ... bring in a bowl of pulled pork and they come out of the woodwork!

Heck Deb i got scared, thought I was going to get jumped. Now today a few people hit me up to do a department community "lunch". They would bring the sides and also pay for the pork. I just have to smoke it. Told them next month as I am working toooo much OT the next few weeks.

It was a good feeling.

Take care,

Brian

Great job Brian. That pork looks good, the fattie too!

I did the same thing today, brought in the leftover pulled pork, turkey and sides. Nothing to take home except the containers!

Yeah I hear ya Brian. I keep the boys away from my lunch by bring a bi-monthly smoked meat to work. Monday I'm bringing in 2 Pastramis. Got em brining now. I'll rub em and wrap em tomorrow and smoke them Saturaday. That'll keep them under control for another few months! LOL
