What a stubborn butt!

My first butt went 16 hrs. Go figure. Well worth the wait though.

  Looks like it turned out good! You never know about a pork but. Plan on 2 hours per pound. If it gets done early, you can hold it over.

Details Beef!...That sucks if it was 5 Lb but pretty normal for a 7-9 Lb Butt...Sure looks good...JJ

Lol JJ it was only 6lbs. I used yellow mustard and a "bone sucking sauce rub". Fired the smoker up at 5 a.m. and had the butt on at 5:30. Smoked at 225* the majority of the smoke. Pulled it off at 9:20 p.m. 190* IT. wrapped it for a hour then dug in. Here's the finishing sauce I tried. I think from "the Dude abides"

1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1 cup Ketchup
1/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar
1/2 Tsp Table Salt
4 Tbs Yellow Mustard
2 Tbs Cholula Hot Sauce
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder

Heat just til small bubbles start then turn heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes stirring every five minutes or so. Then off heat until cool enough to bottle.

It's a great sauce, a little sweet, plenty tangy and just a bit of kick to it. I use it on everything from pulled pork to hamburgers.

This recipe looks good. I will have to try it...Your first butt looks awesome too...

 

[beef77]

Thanks guys. I substituted Tobasco for the hot sauce and also added 1 1/2 tsb. of crushed red peppers. It was really good with just enough kick.
