Pork Butt

[Mike Batsarisakis]

How would you compare smokiness between your recent cook using the wsm and the DO with any previous pork butt cooks using only the wsm? Mike

Mike,
The smoke flavor was still there. I was sampling as I pulled it and the upper part not covered in the liquid was just as good as usual and smokey. Once I pulled it all and mixed up well the vinegar taste took over but you could still taste the smoke flavor which suprised me. I guessed that the smoke would be gone after cooking in the DO but it wasn't.

Take our regular BBQ meat we are used to and add about 1 cup cider vinegar and mix well, that's what it tasted like to me.

Hi Randy, Did the red pepper flakes impart a spicyness to the butt?

Thanks for your efforts!

D.

Yes the red pepper did add a flavor that is not normally in my regular BBQ. I don't use red pepper flakes in much of anything so I could notice a difference.
