Thought I'd share some pics of my adventure with you guys.....
Thursday night picked out a nice coupla butts from the local Piggly Wiggly. $1.19/lb for nearly 19 lbs worth of pork!
Slathered on some mustard and put 'em in the fridge until friday night, giving them 24 hours to soak it in.
Friday evening. Getting the old Backwoods Smoker ready. I used briquets to start with and then switched to hickory.
Atomic Buffalo Turds! (ABT's)
Ready to go on the smoker:
2.5 hours later the ABT's came out great.
Went to bed and used my remote temp gauge.....the temp stayed between 220 and 245 the entire night. Saturday morning 7 am and the internal meat temp is at 190 or so. Cooked it another 2 hrs pulled it off and and let it sit for an hour and it shredded beautifully. The bark was a little blacker than I was expecting considering this was the first time I used a rub instead of a sauce on a butt...but it had a fantastic flavor, not charred at all.
