so, whatcha smokin' this weekend?


 
got my 3 spares on just now. i salted them with kosher salt about 30 minutes before i gave a light dusting of Dizzy Pig's salt free dizzy dust. i forgot to get a new bottle while i was at the getting place friday so didn't have enough to use as much as normal

. i am using regular K for the 1st time in a long time. i was out of RO lump and sam's has the two 21.6 pound bags of regular K for 12.97. that is hard to pass up when it's time to tighten up on some monthly expenses and RO lump it up to 6.30/10 pound bag at wallyworld. i used my torch to light a few coals, turned the pitminder to 240 and added 4 chunks of pecan. up to 215 now.

for those interested here are some pics

i really like the redeye express. it is in my top 3 of dizzy pig rubs. raging river and cowlick are my other 2. tsunami spin and shaking the tree are pretty good. swamp venom is like dizzy dust but with heat. i haven't tried firewalk but have heard it's good. they also have a new rub coming out called pineapple head(you heard it here first!!) that is supposed to be for grilling veggies.

Ive got a small butt (5lb)on right now, rubbed with Blues Hog and put it on a 9am, it is at about 165 now and I am contemplating foiling it. This has been a strange cook, I can"t get my temp below 270, Ive got all 3 vents closed down about %90 and still cant get the temp down. I usually do butts at 225, we'll see how this turns out.
 
I was so concerned all day about those"high" temps, turns out to be my best butt ever. I believe I will cook my next butt at 270, it was moist, flavorful and pulled perfectly. Its funny that just when you think you've f'd up all turns out very well.
