FINALLY a free weekend! do summers settle down as you get older because i seem to barely have a free weekend these last few summers.
Doing 2 butts: one 9.13lb and one 7.12 lb. i'm thinking of wrapping one (or both, we'll see) to see how well it works out for me since i've never done that before. i know some people like to cut their down since they are rather big but i am unsure how to cut them in half with that bone in there. salted and wrapped last night. possibly being rubbed tonight or tomorrow morning, depending on how ambitious i get. I plan on using MMHD with yellow mustard to adhere it. i used to use oil but my wife "swears" she can tell the difference so that's what i'll use. I plan to keep the drippings and add back in when i am done. my only question about that is: Do i add all the drippings back in or is that too much and i am better off just giving it a quick douse?
the only thing i haven't decided about is to attempt to use the hickory chunks or go ahead and use the safe and known applewood chips.
