You can always use the Texas Crutch. After the bark has formed, try placing in an aluminum disposable pan with one cup of apple juice. Cover pan with foil and place back on cooker. I usuall complete 7 to 8lb butts in 8 hours or less.
Was wondering what the price of entry fees for KCBs comps was across the country. The Murphysboro Il contest is $250 for all four meats. What is it in your neck of the woods?
As of Wednesday there were still 8 openings. This is a great contest dually sanctioned by KCBS and MIM. I will be there with the Pork Wrenches. Stop by and say hey.
