I recently got an 18.5" WSM for my birthday and proceeded to cook better-than-average pulled pork and the 2nd best slab of ribs I've ever had, so I figure I'll try again. This time its just a Boston Butt. I bought 16.45lbs in 2 butts @ Sam's and I'm cooking the larger of the two. On my last (first?) cook, I used Bad Byron's Butt Rub and wasn't thrilled with the bark. On this one, I've adapted Slap Yo' Daddy's General purpose rub and I think I'm going to like it much better.
The previous cook was 2 smaller butts (3 & 4 lbs). This one's at least 8 (the larger of a pkg of 16.45lbs...). I'm also facing rain/drizzle most of the day tomorrow with no really good way to protect the WSM.
We'll see how it goes. It's rubbed and in the fridge. I'll probably throw it on 4 or 5 am, and shoot for 230 - 240, ...but I'm planning to use the water pan since I don't have a clay pot yet.
Anything I'm missing? Thanks guys.
