Had Rob come over to the house toting a pork butt he and a friend bought, wanting to make buckboard bacon out of it. He boned it out and divided it himself, mixed up the pickle and put it down in the brine for a 10 day soak. Come a Saturday he wanted to smoke it but I had to work all day, so he did the honors, 1st time by himself. I hung it for him and snapped a couple pics before leaving for work, he came over a couple hours later and started the smokehouse and babysat it, adding chunks every hour and monitoring the internal temp until it hit 152°, then pulled it out just before I got home; final pics of it on the block! He was quite proud of his handiwork and toted it off for he and his buddy to split and devour!
