Pork Butt, Simply Done

I used Tony's Brine for for a twelve hour soak on a nice size butt. It was pulled dried, coated in mustard and dusted when I got home from work at 2:30 AM. I used two 2.5 oz blocks of sugar maple and set it for 225. Prior to going into the smoker I weighed the butt to calculate smoking time. it was 10lb 11oz. I have not replaced my probe thermometer so I planed on checking it after ten hours. At 12:25 the shoulder bone pulled free. I transferred to a foil pan and double wrapped it for the cooler. I pulled it nearly two hours later. We had carnitas with flour tortillas, onions, lettuce and fresh tomatoes from the garden.

Looks great! That was fast smoke time for such a large BB...I normally experience 1.75 to 2hrs per pound to get to 200IT.

I thought it was quick also. My ribs are done in 3.5 to 4 hours consistently. My unit may be running hot but I haven't worried about it too much, I'm getting good food.

That could be, Brian. My #2 uses every bit of 5+ hours to get the ribs to fall off the bone. I have a 10# but going in tonight and I am allowing for 20 hours to finish!

Man, you're making me hungry, Brian! Your cook time is pretty much inline with what I get on brined butts - about 1 hour per pound is normal, for me. Looks incredible!

Well, maybe I should put this in the be careful what you wish for category...started a 10# butt last night at 7pm and based on past practice, expecting 1.75 to 2 hrs per pound. At 7am this morning (12 hrs), the IT was 203! Wow, didn't see that one coming! Now comfortably resting and will be pulled a bit earlier than expected...

I started a 8# butt at 6:30 last night as well, and at 12 hours in, it was just starting to push through the first stall at 170.
Currently it's in a mini stall at 183 at 14.5 hours.

Hey Brian, that wrap looks great. As an alternative to sour cream, you can use tziziki (strained yogurt with chopped garlic, olive oil and lemon juice).

I will mix some up for the next batch. We are getting 2.5 hogs in a few weeks, lots of work and smoking going to be happening.

I'm doing a beer marinaded medium size pork butt smoked with apple wood today. Cajun seasoning is home grown & made. Variety of Hot Peppers, onions & garlic all home grown dehydrated & powdered added to an old pepper flake 2lb shaker.
Lots of good college football games today
& an 80" TV in the Cave. Love my #3 Smoker - makes it incredibly easy & always predictable results.
Thanks everyone for all the good ideas & the wonderful PGF guide which I keep on the desktop for reference.

Sounds good, J! Start a new thread under "Pork" when you get it done; that way, you can post the whole recipe and pictures!
