Thanksgiving Cook 2 - Pork Butts

[Brad Benski]

Cooked three butts this afternoon. The two smaller ones are for the neighbor and the larger one is mine.

Did you smoke those on the big green egg?

 

[Brad Benski]

Yes, it's getting cool and windy here and the egg does a better job keeping steady temps than the Pro-Q Excel, plus it uses much less charcoal.

cool, I have thought about getting one. A little expensive and havent had the WSM long, doubt I can justify another grill. The butts look great!

Thanks Joe.

I hemmed and hawed for about 4 weeks on getting an egg or a Primo, then the local Sams started to carry the eggs. The Sams price drove me to buy it in May. You can see my post about it in the trading post section of the board.

Been pleased with it but it is an adjustment from the WSM style of cook. The Naked Whiz and the Egg boards are good resources. I find that I cook at higher temps and less time using the egg then my Pro-Q, and tend to only use the Pro-Q in the summer months.
