16 lbs of pork butt on my little Smokey mountain smoker

[Justin P]

I loaded my small WSM with 16 lbs of pork butt rubbed with the world class armadillo Willy rub, despite the forecast for rain. Fuel is a mix of standard kings ford and cowboy limo with some apple wood chunks. Meat went on at 4:45 pm today, and I’m already dreaming about supper tomorrow. Because of the rain in the forecast, I added my proprietary rain shield over the top vent, a modification I did to my standard size WSM many years ago. These should be done around noon tomorrow, giving them some resting time before supper. Happy smoke day!

Happy Smoke Day. I hope you don't get rained out.

 

[Justin P]

Same to you Larry. It’s happening rain or shine, hopefully the bbq gods will be watching over us.

Loving the vent rain shield!

 

[Michael Richards]

I am with Bob that rain shield is brilliant. A single pork should will be going on my little WSM in a few hours also.

The meat looks like a piece from a dinosaur on your small WSM.

Looks good!
Love the rain shield, too.

Is it still cooking? I like the clever rain shield, too!

 

[ChuckO]

That's a big beast,

the plate over the vent is clever, but to avoid rain inside the WSM, you'll need an umbrella!
Hope the butt cook was a success!
