    Finally got a "Perfect" Butt

    I add the parenthesis just because who's to say what's perfect? (haha, many, i'm sure). But, it was a personal best and really a grand slam with the eating audience I had on hand. I went with Meathead's "easy" method of kosher salt dry brine for 12+ hours and Memphis Dust hit before cooking. i put it the barrel at 9am and didn't even look at it until around 1pm just to make sure it was still hanging. it hit 175-degrees at 1:45 and i put it on the grate and again didm't touch it. i finally pulled the lid at 6:05pm when it was sitting at 202-degrees for almost 40 minutes. at that point the bone was loose and it was ready to go (Note to self - calibrate thermos or invest in new ones!!). i pulled it and let it sit for 30 before trying it. a volunteer had already slid of and was deliciously received! oh my! it tasted good!


    out of the barrel and resting. oh my, a chunk fell off!

    oh no! meat just tore of the butt in a big tasty strip like it was string cheese! i hope it's ok to eat it . . .

    when it's all tore up it gets even more delicious.

    Looking good. Pork shoulder was the first cut of meat I ever smoked, and it’s still one of my favorites all these years later!

        I have thrown meat I ruined in the trash before anyone could taste it on more than one occasion. "Who wants pizza!"

        Looks great! I always have to sample lots of barky pieces as I pull the pork. If my wife is in the kitchen during the process, she is sneaking bits too as I shred the butt up!

            I use to hear that a lot. Now it's only when I smoke some pork.
