    First overnight butt

    In the words of Keith Jackson... "Wooaahhh Nellie!!!" There may be 1/2lb of pork left and zero wings. These guys have cleaned me out. The butt rested for 2 1/2 hours. When I opened it, I couldn't believe my eyes. The bark was the blackest and crispiest I have ever cooked, and the meat was...

    First overnight butt

    Well Paul, mine came off at 16 hrs with an internal temp of 180, where it stayed for quite a while. The cook temp stayed a constant 240, so I guess it was okay to pull it off. It has been double foiled with a cup of apple juice, and is resting comfortably in a left over Omaha Steaks cooler...

    First overnight butt

    Thanks Craig I noticed the temp hanging around 165 for quite a while. It even dropped to 164. It has now risen to 172, so it looks like I'm in the clear, (for now) and I can stop panicking. I plan to yank it at 3pm, wrap it, and place it in a cooler until tipoff. I still have 8lbs of wings...

    First overnight butt

    Thanks gentlemen. A few too many lit coals could have been the reason why I hit 250 so fast last night. First baste with apple juice was at 7am, and the second was at 11am. Right now I'm at 165 internal after 12 hours, and holding steady at 230 lid. Heck, I only have 10 coming over to watch...

    First overnight butt

    Good morning Folks! It's now 9:45am EST and I am in the middle of my first 8lb butt overnight cook. I was a little hesitant to do it, but after reading all the info you all have provided, I jumped in head first. I loaded my WSM with about 10 lbs of old KF I found at Wal-Mart last night...

    Injecting marinade in pork butt?

    Pineapple juice on ribs intrigues me. Please explain in detail Bob. Do you use it as a baste instead of apple juice, or is it a little more involved than that? My friend did say that pineapple tenderizes the butt, so it sounds like too much will make it mushy. I'll try several small, well...

    Brocolli and onion salad

    That's why these sites are great. I never thought of tossing in raisins or sesame seeds, but I will next time. The cream base is Miracle Whip, or a store brand.

    Injecting marinade in pork butt?

    I am doing a butt this coming weekend for the Final Four. I've never injected one, so I ran it by a guy in our Memphis office who is a 2 time MIM ribs champ. (before it became big time on the food network) He swears by pineapple juice. He said it gives the meat a great flavor, it stands up to...
