Mother's Day BBQ - First Pork Butt

[Paul Johnson]

I hope the links to the pictures work. I decided to do my first over-nighter and my first pork butt. I bought a 12 lb pork shoulder from my local butcher and after trimming it weighed in at 11.3 lbs.

I rubbed it with Chris Lilly's rub and smoked it with cherry wood for about 17 hours.

Overall it was a pretty good cook and I was pleased with how well the WSM held temperature even with gusty winds and temperatures in the high 30's.

Here it is after foiling and resting for 2 hours. Here it is pulled.

I also did a few pork tenderloins the other day that turned out pretty good.

Take care & happy smoking!

Looks like some great "outside meat" as we say down this way!
