July 4th Weekend Pork Butt

Recommended Posts

Well, I haven't been posting in a long time due to being just plain too busy, but here goes nothing. I had a hard time finding a decent sized pork butt. Are pigs getting smaller? Biggest bone in one I found around here was around 8lbs.

I settled on a 9lb boneless from the local butcher. At least it still had the fat cap on it.

I tied it up and put on a coating of Course Grind Dizzy Dust and then put it back in the fridge for a day.

After I lit the charcoal, I took the roast out of the fridge and put on the final coat of Course Grind Dizzy Dust.

Smoking away while it gets back up to temp after putting the roast on.

13 hours later, a perfect 195 degrees.

I never take pictures of myself pulling my pork, but here is the aftermath.

Oh man was it good. Everyone was pleased.

Re: July 4th Weekend Pork Butt

Last time I did one, I put it on the upper grill and I put a brisket on the main grill under it. The butt seemed to do ok up there, so I figured I'd put it there again. I did the foil trick on the lower grill you told me about and that worked great. Is there any reason to NOT put it on the upper grill?
