Thanks to DivotMaker I am trying out my first brined butt. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
11.36lbs trimmed up a bit probably closer to 11lbs.
-
That's a big ol' butt!!!
-
I like big butts, I cannot lie.
LOL
-
already to go....
-
in at 2:10AM, rubbed down with Famous Dave's rib rub (DivotMaker hope you pull through on this one), ready to taste in 12-13hrs
I will say that Dave's rub does smell really fragrant, most likely all the dried veggies and he orange peels, has a nice sweet but slightly spicy smell, I think this will turn out well....
-
Hope you like it, Ben! Can't wait to see your results!
-
12:23 and this is where she has been sitting for quite awhile, notice that this time the temps are up higher and I didn't change a single thing compared to the turkey, drip pan and all....interesting
-
Ahh, the stall! Right on schedule. Probably gonna hover there for a few hours! What's weird is when you see it drop back a few degrees. She'll pull out eventually and start climbing again! Bet you're facing a solid 14 hours, or more, total.

4:30 sitting at 189..... she's almost there
-
nice bark, into cooler for a rest....hope this thing tastes as good as it smells. Really happy with the cherry wood smoke.
-
here we are with the pull
DM DM DM....I will never question your recommendations again! This is by far the best pulled pork I have ever had. I will definitely be brining my butts from now on. Even the Famous Dave's rub was great, just the right flavors. I used Cherry solely and it imparted a nice mellow smoke to the pork that didn't overpower the brine/rub/meat. I did have some Sweet Baby Rays but ended up just eating the pork alone, like a solo flavor ride for my taste buds. Fantastic!
-
Awesome looking butt, Ben!! Thanks for the compliment on the recipe! I get that same reaction from folks I make it for, mostly because it's different I guess. I just can't believe the difference in a brined butt. Glad you liked Dave's rub, too! ;D

OK...you got me! I am doing a butt over the holiday break and will follow the brine recipe! Nice job, Ben, that must have been a tasty meal! Cheers

Wow, that looks great. Ok, DM, I am definitely going to try brining my next butt!! Now I am hungry.

Cool, MN! It'll be the best pulled pork you've ever had - guaranteed (or your money back)! ;)
