Decided to do an overnight cook for the 4th. Used a sweet rub on a 8 lb pork butt that I found in the recipe section. I normally like a little more heat, but my son and in-laws are a little more sensitive. Since I was breaking out the WSM, I decided to defrost some St Louis spares and throw them on as well. Changed it up and used the Mocha Rub on the first page of the rub recipe.
I got my fire started at 11:30pm and was able to throw my pork butt on at midnight. While getting it finely tuned, I made the mocha rub for the ribs.
At 9 am I threw on my ribs with my shoulder. I forgot to snap a photo. At around noon I was reading 195-200 and foiled my shoulder. After 2.5 hrs, I foiled my ribs with King syrup, apple juice, brown sugar, and some Country Crock.
While waiting for my ribs to finish, I made some honey mustard cole slaw and banana pudding.
After 2 hrs, I unfoiled my ribs and glazed them with some leftover Myron Mixon rib glaze, I had made a week and a half ago.
As the ribs set up, I unwrapped my shoulder and pulled it.
At that point it was time to eat.
The ribs turned out really well. We enjoyed the new rub. I highly recommend it if wanting to try something different. The pork was lacking the heat I enjoy, but everyone else was happy with it.
Have a great Independence Day!!
