Here I am on this wonderful message board at 4 in the morn', California time. I arose at three to fire up the smoker and get my first pork butt ever in for it's kiss of the smoke. I got the butts from costco. 11 pounds all together in a sealed package. There was to in the package, I'm guessing a 6 pounder and a 5 pounder. Coated them both with mustard and then put Jeff's rub all over them. I'm giddy as a schoolgirl just thinking about what is happening inside the smoker right now.
Thermometers are set in both of them. As per what a lot of you guys have written. I have the therms set to go off at 170, at which time I am going to foil and finish off in a 240 degree oven untill they hit an internal temp of 200. I did make a mixture of apple juice and Jack Daniels and I guess I'll begin spraying in a couple of hours
I started so early because the wife decided since there was going to be so much food to invite a bunch of people to come over on Sat nite. Well that made me nervous because all of you guys have written not to smoke the same day as the party as you just don't know what is going to happen. Oh well. I f anyone has any suggestions as to my method, please let me know wether to change something up or not
