i had to get one more smoke in this year and we are expecting ~8 inches tonight into tomorrow. 2 pork butts > 5lbs each. dry brined on thursday, MMHD on friday, woke up at 6am today to start them with hickory

dark and snowy

stacked in the snow & waiting to go
currently at 181 with a smoker ~260. interesting thing i tried with my thermometers (now that i have 2) this time was to take the grate temp at both levels and the top grate was 20 degree's warmer than the one below it.
so this smoke is a little experiment for me. one of the butts i am going to do like normal and after shredding i am going to sprinkle in some additional MMHD to boost up the flavor. the OTHER butt i cut 2 big gashes in and put a bunch of MMHD and tied it back up. i want to see which way i like better.
either way i'm sure it will be good!
