Sanny Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 That's the idea I use, Cozy. If the roast is manageable enough, I don't do it quite as daintily as the photo suggests. I'm a knitter, so I form a large loop, slide it over the bottom, tighten, make the next one, slide the roast through... Kind of like casting on stitches, with the roast as "needle."

Sanny Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Way too early in the morning Grrr. It's 2 in the morning. I just checked the butts. They're not to temp yet. Of course, when I put them on at 9 in the morning, I didn't think they would be finished until about 6 or so. 200 - 250 temp cooker. But by the time I went to bed, they were at internal of 165, so just in case, I thought I'd check in the night. Woke up, put slippers on, and they're not cooked. So why did I decide they might be, and woke myself up? I hate being awake in the middle of the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Me again... Now it's 5:30. Only slightly more respectable on a day off. I pulled the butts off the grill. Don't care if they're raw in the middle, they're coming off, and I'm going back to sleep! And so much for trying not to use a spicy rub. I pinched a piece of bark just now, and about lit my mouth on fire, it's so peppery. I cannot take it anymore!! More sleep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Well, they look good from what I can tell! I like it spicy too. I don't wanna hear any whining about sleep, I still have not gone to bed since 3:30am yesterday (well, there was a short nap at work - hehehe). Changing up from day shift to night shift can be a pain, so it is easier to stay up. Now, chop me some BBQ! -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 What I cant believe is that while getting up to check the butts, you could clear your head enough to post updates! Without typos, too! My sisters family is coming to visit this week, and my Mom requested some que to have on hand. I have 2 bone-in butts from Sams that will go on this afternoon. We will see if I fare as well while waking up to tend the grill I may be on the horn to shotgun Fred in the morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Well, I took the butts off at 5:30am (and posted pics!!). I left the butts out on the stove, to pull later, and went back to bed. Aaah, sleep without worrying about butts and overcooked bbq. :sleep: At 8, leapt out of bed - I'd forgotten about 7:00 car repair appt. Ugh! Home at 11, and pulled the pork. The butts were cool, so it was a finger pull, not a fork pull, but they're moist and delicious! YAY!! Wonderful chewy bark, good smoke pink. They filled 3 gallon-sized ziplock bags, and into the freezer to await delivery to my friend for the Chinese supper. Good for me! Except there's this email that just arrived. Plans changed. They changed the location. She's not hostess this time, so she doesn't need the pork, and could she have a rain check? Anyone want some pulled pork for supper?

Sanny Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Rub Anyone wondering, I used Kirkland brand rub from Costco. Comes in a flattish round tin. This one is the steak rub. Paprika, pepper, garlic, salt, etc. The fish one isn't bad, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put it away in serving sized portions and it'll keep for much longer that it needs to. And to the Chineses and the rain check...ah, that would be a big ole loud Chinese 'NO' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestik Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Guava Sanny' date=' whats the flavor of the Guava smoke>? Can you make any comparisons? I may have to order a box and give it a try.[/quote'] You know, FM, I had some Guava almost a decade ago when it was the new hip thing to order... I dunno... I was never very impressed by it myself. It was kind of... bland. If smoke can be bland. I did pork roasts and chickens with it and never found the taste all that appealing... smoky... but not savory. I mean, it wasn't a smoke taste I wanted on my food. Reminded me more of cardboard or something. But you know, that's just my opinion. Other folks seemed to enjoy it. That said, your butts look delicious, Sanny. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porkchop Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 retile? duh, dude. why do you think "textured" is my finish of choice; well, that and it looks good i'd be better at delivering, uh, "pizza" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hmm....I think the jokes on you Porkchop - KKs dont need to be retiled Speaking of retiling POSKs, I noticed yesterday that the tile on one of my POSK legs has grout cracks, too. Damn, they dont even need to be heated to start losing adhesion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
