Over here at the Cordova compound we have about 15-20 showing up today expecting Good Eats (sorry Alton). I bought a 12lb butt from WAL MART the other night. I usually get them from Kroger, but was out at the Wally World, saw this nice 12lber and the price was good. Also picked up a family pack of drumsticks to make chicken lollipops, plus some assorted smoked sausages. Oh and good news....my wife works for UHC (don't get me started) and found out a perk she has that gets a discount on Costco membership. So we will be getting one again!
I opened up the butt and dry brined it starting Tuesday night. Got up this morning and loaded up the dripngriddle and the slow n sear with KBB and cherry chips....the wife thought chips and chunks are the same. It'll all work out in the end.
I slathered it up with MMD and threw it to the smoke around 7AM central. My usual process is to let it get to 175 ISH and then wrap in foil. Take it to 203-205, wrap in a moving blanket ($5 at Harbor Freight) and throw in my faux cambro on wheels. (Igloo) and let it rest until about 20 mins before we eat. I'll shred that sucker up and the hungry hordes will be fed!
I'll post up some pics of the lollipops later as I make them and throw them to the Slow N Sear! I went with my Maverick ET733. My wife bought me an XR 50 for Xmas, but it has one thing I..er....SHE doesn't like. If the alarm goes off, the OUTSIDE base unit starts beeping and I can't figure out how to stop it without going out there.
The reason she doesn't like it, the kettle is 10 feet from her window. I am in my office 45 feet away. When the alarm went off, I turned it off on the remote thinking everything was cool. Until she barged in yelling WTF do you have outside my window going BEEPBEEPBEEP BEEPBEEPBEEP? Ruh ROH, Shaggy.
Luckily when she at that night, all was forgiven. But I don't want another repeat and didn't feel like spending time searching Google and Youtube to see if there is a solution to this....other than put the base unit in a sound proof box. Plus, only cooking one butt, I only needed 2 probes today!
BUTT (see what I did there), if anyone knows how to keep the base unit on a Maverick XR-50 from beeping or how to stop it remotely, I'd appreciate the 411.
I forgot to mention...I LOVE this site. The recipes, the reviews, and the food science. I'm a tech nerd so I love that stuff. But most of all the community. There's no political, social, or ethnic agendas. Everyone here just loves smoked meat.
Happy 4th of July America!
