Pork butt cook
« on: January 20, 2021, 03:30:15 PM »
Cooked 2 pbs last week, waiting to get pics developed!
Started with two cryovaced pbs aged a little over 3 years in the freezer!
Between 8 to 10 lbs each. Did my normal rub which is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Mainly salt,pepper, garlic, brown sugar. Over night before smoking.
Set Auber for ramp to 150 then to 270 for cook till reaching about 198. Thought it would be a 10 to 16 hour cook,done in 8!!
Auber functioned great and results of pork wasn't turned down by anyone offered a taste.  Oh, at end of cook they were wrapped and Cambridge for about an hour.
Here are some pics:

Sounds like a success. Smoking at 225 will give you the 12 - 16 hours. But as you found out you can go higher with no problems.

Interesting set-up.
