haha, that was fun to type.
i'm going to attempt my 2nd butt this weekend.
My first attempt was with two really small butts.
This butt is 11 pounds though.
I don't own a wsm, i have a smoker joe and a performer.
The challenge - it's currently -2 degrees and windy. Supposed to be even windier tonight and tomorrow i think.
As much as i'd LOVE to finish this whole butt in the smoker, I'm starting to lean towards giving it 6 or 8 hours of smoke and finishing it in the oven (or even in the kettle)
I also need to make some rub.
UPDATE:*************
I just put the butt on the mini smoker joe.
I spent the day making a charcoal basket out of a 5qt stainless doggie bowl. What a pain...
I made a rub out of salt, sugar, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. I skipped the paprika and chili powder - trying for something different i guess.
it's 5 degrees outside right now, but supposedly getting down to -10 tonight.
I'm going to 'not care' about temps as much as i can. I figure i'll take 2 hour incremental naps on the couch.
I have the smoker wall set up in my performer as a backup. I can get it smoking in about 20 minutes.
I'm using royal oak lump, as always.
