2 Butts today

I'm smoking 2 Butts today in the #1 back to back.

Both brined for 12 hours, slathered in mustard and rubbed with Memphis Dust (my new favorite).

I'm using 3oz of Hickory and 3oz Cherry with each smoke. A mini loaf pan with H2O and bringing them to 192 IT.

Its smelling very good in my neighborhood today :)

The #1 is going to get a real work out!  Don't forget the pics!

I'm trying to burn this #1 out so I convince the wife to get a #3 .....j/k

Good Luck with that, might as well just pony up.....the #1 aint gonna give up the ghost anytime soon  8) ;) ;D
 
Don, the back to back was what I was commenting on.  2 butts is pushing the 24 hour envelope if you aren't pulling and wrapping part way through. 
 
Hey Don, Will go along with everyone else on this post. And since I too have a #1 and later got a really good deal on a #3, with cart, auber, and cover. Just tell the little lady you need a larger smoker to do full briskets and other large cuts of meats. For instance you could really put both butts in the #3 and smoke at the same time. And double good luck on burning the #1 out. I do not see that happening anytime soon.  ;)
 
Instead of waiting for it to burn out.....

Sell to your closest friend after you invite him over for brisket :)

Or if you have kids... this would be great for you son or daughter to learn on.....

Just saying.

Enjoy Greg

Greg that's exactly what I really was thinking. Last night when my son came by to pick up the first butt (care package  ;) they may move out but.....) and I told him he needs to learn this stuff because I wont be around for ever. So I made him pull and vacuum seal his butt. He did ok.

Sounds good Don!

Take a photos if you can.

As requested, only pics of one butt as I forgot to take pics of the one I gave my Son.

This Pulled Pork was the best yet out of 10-12 butts that I have done since owning the #1 and I believe was due to only going to an IT of 190 and resting for 2 hours.

All the others I went to 195 IT with a 2 hour rest and they were always great but these turned out so much juicier and melt in the mouth.

Hey Don, looks very good, I also found on someones post to add a little rub after you pull it for added flavor. I really like the bark on this one.
