tony b Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 I call this masterpiece "Butts at Sunrise." Cooked a bone-in butt for NYE. Injected with Butcher's BBQ Pork, rubbed with CYM and Dizzy Dust. Rested overnight in the fridge. Onto the KK, full basket, indirect, w/Guru set to 250F, smoking pot with hickory and apple. Done. IT was bumping 200F. Might have gone a little more, but was pushing kick-off time for the Orange Bowl (Go Jackets!!) The money shot.
CeramicChef Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Posted January 2, 2015 Tony - that is some kind of wonderful butt cook! The color on the finished butt is superb; great bark! You know, I'm struck by how small butts look on KKs. I understand why they look small on TheBeast, but on your 23" that butt still looks small. On my Primo XL butts never seemed undersized as they do on KKs. Wonder why?
tony b Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks, but it was all the KK's doing, with an "assist" from the Guru. The only secret to a great pork butt is patience. Let the smoker do its thing. Rubs/injections are secondary.
