Hi my TVWBB friends. The missus asked me to chronicle the downstairs freezer's belongings; I was thrilled that I found an 8.5 lb bone-in Costco butt.
Made a dry rub on the fly. Hmmm, there's some Montreal steak seasoning--2/3 c. that. 1/3 c. paprika. 1/4 c. each chili powder and brown sugar. 2 T. dried thyme. 1/2 t. cayenne (okay, I'm a wuss). A sprinkle or two of turbinado sugar.
Now, let's pay homage to Jim Minion. Full unlit ring and, according to my friend the UNC basketball and BBQ fanatic and Chapel Hill alum, exactly 23 lit briquets. Full water pan.
But, WAIT!! It's a beautiful spring night. I need a cold beer and a....HUH??.....where is the.....THERE IT IS!! Always good to lay in reserves.
Let's put it in. 200-225 at lid. Apple & hickory.
Time for bed.
{9 hours later.....you read that right......9 HOURS!!} If I ever meet a WSM engineer, they're getting a cold Bud and a Fireball sidecar.....when I woke up, my 18.5" WSM was stuck at 225 and 180 internal.
Getting close.....grab the foil, beach towels, newspaper and faux cambro, silly!
17 hours. 200 internal. Unbelievable bite.
Folks, people were happy. Sorry for the lack of plated shots. I always lose my mind by that point and forget. Happy Easter/Happy Passover. Be safe and stay well.
