Title: 16 pounds of Butt!
Post by: WCTaxidermy on March 02, 2013, 08:35:02 AM: Hey everyone, I had to have me some butts for for dinner yesterday and leftovers for pulled pork sandwiches for an upcoming fishing trip. I bought 2- 8 pound butts for the BBQ. Thought I would share some pic's of the cook.

Rubbed and wrapped ready for a rest int he fridge.

Sorry 3boys, I was out of town for a few days. I do my Pork Butts at 240. I usually use a 50/50 mix of Hickory and Cherry.

Post by: quadrafire on March 14, 2013, 07:55:24 AM: WC. I did 17 lbs over the weekend. I usually give them smoke for only about 4-5 hrs and then continue at about 225, until the temp is above 190. Depending on the outside temp the time varies. This batch was about 18 hrs.
(If I remember I sometimes wrap them in foil for the last 6-8 hrs)

Hey Quad, sounds like you will be having some sandwiches for a while. Can't beat pulled pork! Ok, well maybe a Brisket beats it, but what the heck. :chuckle:

I use a Rec-Tec pellet grill. I had a Traeger 075 Texan since the 90's and loved it but I just couldn't keep a good pit temperature with it, so it was time for a new one. The Rec-Tec keep temp's to within a couple of degrees and man is it made tough.
