I decided that 11:00 in the morning I was going to do a couple quick 8lb butts for freezer stock.
I put the butts on at noon...for rub I used Plowboys Yardbird rub. Smoking temp was 291. I put the butts in a pan when they hit 170 and covered.




I pulled the butts @ 6:05pm IT was 204 and the other was 207.
Total cook time 6hrs. I got about a 1/4 pan of juice.


I pulled the 2 butts and I got a full pan of pulled pork.


This morning I will be vacuum sealing and putting in my freezer.

Nice................Thumbs Up
Thanks

Looks great! I do all of my butts hot and fast now. Only way to do it!
I agree...I haven't been about to tell much difference between low and slow & hot and fast.

I still prefer the low and slow method between 225 and 250. seems to dry out a little when going with higher temps ...but still good
 
HC That looks great I like to add a little liquid when I pan them Points

Most of that juice is from the cook. With my smoker I haven't had much trouble with things drying out.
Boyko there is nothing wrong with low and slow that's been used for years with good results.
Edit: Some of my hot & fast is I don't want to tend fire for 12hrs.

Richie when I pan I start out with a little apple juice. When I pull the butt I have about a 1/4 pan of juice. I strain it and then mix some in with the PP. I feel that is what gives the butt some of it's flavor.
Thanks so much for the points. Thumbs Up
