I usually follow Meowey's Basic Pulled Pork instructions to the letter when smoking a butt. I found out though that I don't have any apple juice to mix with spiced rum (yeah, I have the rum on hand though!)
So I am mixing up some pulp free orange juice with the rum to spritz with. We will see how it comes out. After spritzing some in my hand and sampling it, I can't imagine that it will taste bad!
Here are pics of the butt after unwrapping the Saran Wrap. It was rubbed down with mustard and Jeff's Famous Rub the night before and then wrapped up and stuck in the fridge to soak. It was just before 10 am when it went on the smoker.
I had to put a moving blanket over the smoker to raise the temp a bit. Now it is holding at 219 and the TBS is starting to seap from the blanket!
I will post more pics as the day progresses.
