[gary s]

I wasn't going to post this but I had several request so here goes.

This is not a Step by Step, just a brief description and pictures

I decided to smoke a little hotter than usual and Not Wrap. Used pecan

all day no charcoal, except 1/2 chimney of lump just to get going

Woke up at 5:00 AM with leg cramps, Since I was up and had a Pork Butt in the Fridge

I said "Why Not"     8.5 lb Butt rubbed and waiting

I had 3 pork chops that needed cooking and left over roasted chicken from last night.

That will teach my wife to leave me alone all day.

That looks amazing.

How was it different from a 225 cook?

I think it just finished up a little quicker, instead of taking the usual 12 or so. But Never had one go 18 or 20

That is some fine looking grub. I normally go 225° or so to get a little more smoke but I have gone 275° with good results.

Happy smoken.

My first smoke using the "Dust" was a Butt also. I think I washed too much of mine away doing low and slow in an electric on a long smoke. It was good though. I can see how hot and fast on a firebreather would make it much much better.

Great Job Gary!

I want to try hanging a 260 degree brisket and then wrap in paper.

Looks great! Glad you didn't let us down by not posting your great smoke!:grilling_smilie:

Thanks guys

Looks great, Gary. Did the 275 help get thru the stall better? The last pic looked like it was coarse pulled. That's the way we like ours. Pork chops looked good too. Have a good weekend, Joe. :points:

Joe I never even checked the temp at all. Only time I opened the door was to take out the chicken and pork chops

And right before they were done, just wiggled the bone. Yep I always do a pretty coarse pull. I was real moist and great flavor.

Looks great Gary! How'd you like the pork chops with the tatonka dust?

 

[GaryHibbert]

Hey Gary

Great smoke--glad you posted.  I'm curious too--how did you like the Tatonka Dust?  I've never tried it--not even sure if it would work in an AMNPS.

Gary

Nice butt Garry. Solid proof that it's not always all about the brisket in Texas.  I heard pulled pork is great for leg cramps!

[gary s]

Hey Thanks Brian, and for the point. Must not have eaten enough had them again last night

I didn't sample the pork chops, we will eat them today  Firs time using the Tatonka dust 

Glad I smoked yesterday, we are supposed to get more rain !!!

Gary

 

[joe black]

That's right, BD. But your rub needs to be magnesium and finish with a banana glaze. Works every time.
