    First Butt

    Tackled my first butt yesterday. 6 pounds, bone-in, on a 22 inch Weber with a Slow 'N Sear, apple wood for smoke, no injection, no crutch. Dry brined 35 hours.

    Total cook was 10 hours. I upped the grill temp towards the end to get through the stall.

    I'm really getting into the SnS. I find it easy to hit and hold my target temps. Next time I will cook two butts. There is enough grill room on a 22 inch Weber to accommodate them - cook once, eat many times. I like the idea that you don't have to get up at oh-dark-thirty to prepare these for a dinner.

    Great job! It's hard to beat the ease and flavor of BBQ done right with charcoal, wood and the SnS!

        It's a fabulous tool. Coupled with a Maverick remote grill and meat probes, you're in business!

          For what it's worth, I no longer tie my bone-in butts and they hold together fine. Your mileage may vary.

            Three pieces of string aren't too much. I was being cautious because of how fall-apart my brisket finished. I wanted to be able to get the whole butt into the pan in one piece.

            I understand. Your pulled pork looks so good I'm planning my next one, which will probably be next weekend after a day drive to Florida.

            At the risk of being banned for talking politics, you are correct (as usual). Just couldn't pass a set up line like that...

              Looks great! From appearances, you can't ask for a better pork butt.
