Last night I started smoking three pork butts about 7 1/2 lbs each. I did a different rub on each and let them sit in the rub for about 36 hours. Here is the lineup.

The bricks? or the butts? :D
The bark is lookin gooood.
They are bricks, they help to keep the heat up when I open the door.
Are you planning in finishing them up in the Bradley or are you going to transfer them to a slow oven? I'd be interested to know what your total time was.
Finishing in Bradley, they are still cooking, will let you know.
Dang !!! you have some really good lookin bark on them butts, be watchin for the finish...good luck
I will vote for the gunpowder injected butt ;D
but the all look great
They do look good!
All Pork Butt's are done pulled and in the refrigerator. I cooked all Butts to a IT of 195 and FTC for 3-4 hours. The first butt was done after 24 hours and was the Bad Bryon's Butt Rub. I forgot to get a picture of it after FTC, but here it is after being pulled.

Had to take a sample of all three and I think there will be some satisfied people at the party today :)
I don't have a opinion of what rub I like the best yet, but will after some more sampling. I didn't really notice a difference in the GP butt with injection, not sure the injection really did anything.
Great job! Nice bark on them.......
OH YA nice looken butts ;)
All them there piles of pork look GREAT.
Theres gonna be some happy eaters at the party today.
Pass the Starne's!
