Hello Fellow BBQ’ers,

Some of my instructors and some of my family have been asking for some more pork BBQ and since I can't let anyone down I obliged.  As you can see from my pics my ‘Royal Oak’ offset smoker has seen better days btw two moves and monthly BBQ use the smoker it has seen some abuse over the last 6 years. However it still performs great and has some character (we need more pics of well used smoker btw).

Last night I picked up 3x 8pds butts from Publix,  all 3 were injected with Cherry Coke and Chris Lilly’s “injection recipe” and left to rest wrapped in the fridge overnight. This morning while the smoker was warming up each had a different rub applied. #1 had Brown Dog Riba Rub applied #2 had Mr. Pilleteri's Rub A Butt Seasoning (Local Alabama favorite)  #3 had Adam's rib rub

The butt’s went on at 10AM today @250 ish temp with Cherry and Hickory wood….I will keep everyone updated as to how they progress….

Looking forward to it Mike!

So you figure on pulling them off in the middle of the night for serving tomorrow?

I gotta say, I would love to sample all three just to see how big a difference the rubs make.

Yep, those are pork butts!

I gave up the spritzing a while back because it took heat away from the meat and didn't make that big a difference to the end product, at least for me!

Looking great so far!!!

Keep it coming

At 12AM the butts were added to the cooler (covered with two beach towels) final temps.... #1 @196f  #2 @199f  #3 @201f.

At 8am my wife pulled them (I was in working in the clinic) and vac pak sealed them. Pictures below, I will let you know what my instructors think. 

Cheer and happy smoking......

Mike

So the total time for this was 15 hours? With no foil? Just trying to get a guideline for when I do a pulled pork for family.
