| First pork butt

First butt, about 6 lbs, rubbed generously with"Meatheads" rub recipe. I threw in some gound sage and used Penzey's half sharp paprika for a little heat.
Supper was to be at 6:00, so the butt went on at 8:00 am. I used RA lump in a MM start, with a few chunks of pecan and cherry. It was a windy day, so I hastily used some 2'X4' ceiling panels to make a windbreak, but I still had a hard keeping the temp from moving from 300 to 220, both up and down. At 1:00 the temp couldn't get up to 220, so I started another chimney of lump and couple more small chunks of pecan. Then it was a struggle to get the temps down from 300. I was using the Maverick double probe therm, by the way. Anyway, the meat hit 198 at 4:30. Mr Brown was great, not much fat left. Pulled easily, and TASTED GREAT. It would seem that no matter what I did, the Bullet did it's job. I would like to post pics, but I dont't see how. (EDITThanks Jim... here are the pics:

Mike, Welcome! You did a great job, the butt looks great. You also learned a lot from that cook regarding temp control and the forgiveness of Butt. With a little practice you will be able to get your temps where you want them and keep them there within 25 degrees or so. Keep up the good smokin!

Great Job, I do my first one tomorrow. I did read that the smoker will cook a bit hotter and not as consistent until fully seasoned.
Can't wait to get smoking myself! Summit Gold, Performer, WSM 18.5, Weber chill |
