After five of them on my pellet smoker I picked up an 8.5 pounder last night, trimmed and salted it. Tonight I oiled it up a little and laid on the MMDust. In the AM (0500) I plan on firing up the (Yoder 640) pellet grill and when the temp hits 225F toss on the boston butt, shower and go to work. Sure, I will check in at noon or so and ask the temperatures (thank you Maverick) and my wife will call me when it is 175 or so and I will head home.... toss in the 18 bacon wrapped jalapeno cream cheese bits I made tonight (garden grown jalapenos---waiting in the freezer). and pull it out when done for friends coming over tomorrow night. Spousal unit is cooking the beans and cole slaw is made. Sauces all done from last time. Should be plenty of leftovers but these guests will be taking most of it home. Yes, that pellet grill has spoiled me. Just hope it continues to work like a charm.

Spousal unit... That's a good term. When I do long low and slow cooks on my BGE my spousal unit knows enough about adjusting the lower vent to maintain the temp while I'm at work. We know the BGE well enough now that we can do a double butt cook without opening the dome at all on a 16 to 18 hour cook. There is no need to add lump coal on long cooks like that either.

I stuffed the jalapenos and wrapped them with raw bacon and froze them...I like to put them on frozen as it seems (maybe I am delusional) that it helps keep the cream cheese in. That is the way I have been doing it....

Looks great, frac. I just bought 15+ lb 2 pack of butts from Sam's club. Will probably smoke one soon and freeze the other in the new freezer coming tomorrow.

I wouldn't call it wrapping in the conventional style. I left it in foil 3o minutes because I had to run down the street 15 minutes and pick up some dinner guests (LDS missionaries...it was raining). My only problem with the Sam's was that they were boneless and I had to do some SERIOUS knot work on them.

Thanks for the info. The ones I just bought at Sam's are not boneless. They are regular butts with the blade bone

Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!
Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...
I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.
I tried a no-peekie Butt Cook last week. Put them on at 10 pm, checked vents at midnight, then when I left for work at 730. Ready to go around noon. #Nice
Jrod, I'm with you, I would have paid more attn if it was a brisket!
