Hi all,
Don't know what happened the first time. Site went wacky on me.
With your guy's help getting ready to do up my first butts for work Monday, I don't get a 3 day weekend.
As from the other post I am going with Gunshot injected, GP rubbed on one and the Salt Lick clone on the other.
1 at 6# and the other at 6.5#-

Hope to finish Saturday morning, FTC for a couple than shred and store in the fridge. Will do the crock pot thing to heat it up.
Jim
Let me know if you think gunshot and gunpowder is the best :o
looks you are well on your way and have a good plan.... smoke and cook in the smoker til 185 ... pull and FTC with apple juice for a couple of hours then shred for pulled pork... and enjoy
Looking good!
What type of buns or bread and cole slaw are you going to be serving with it?
The cole slaw and bread will be provided by others. I believe the bread will be Hawaiian rolls for the buns.
Basically pulled pork sliders.

Good stuff! Makes the meat go farther..
Sounds like a great lunch Drac! I'm sure everyone will be happy! ;D
Looks good allready.
We have them on rolls most of the time around here too, sweet dough and sourdough rolls.
Cant wait to see and here about the finished product.
Got home and got the butts in the Bradley.
Got the probe going through the top this time instead of the door. Got the probe in the lower one for now, the timer set at 2 hours to change the water and 4 hours of hickory in the hopper -

After taking it out I do have to wonder if I cured the butt with the injector. Here is the liquid run off, over a cup -

Now everything is up to fate.
Jim
Game On! ;D
You'll want to reset that digital timer before you go to bed. For some reason I think they shut down at 9 hours??

Yep, 9 h 40 m.
I assume I should rotate, flip and switch at least once?
Jim
Don't hit the snooze button in the morning...you got some co-workers mouths starting to water already! ;D
Yeah, I would swap/rotate them before you go to bed.
Do you have room to move them up a notch to the next set of shelves? That one on the bottom will get a fair amount of heat from the element..
Made it happen.
Jim
Really waiting for a picture of the finished butts all pulled and ready to munch... :D
Smoking done and doing the swap/rotate before bed.
The one on the right is the GP, the one on the left Salt Lick clone -

Here is were we stand at 9pm/5 hours. Hopefully it will make it until tomorrow more. I don't think it will be to bad since it took me a while to do the switch, temp dropped to 160F.

I'll check in tomorrow morning.
Jim
Here we go. First one got done around 9:30 this morning. This one is the GP -

Was already falling apart as I tried to move it onto the foil.

The other one got moved down and is at 177F so I hope it will be done soon.
BTW - how in the hell do you keep from digging in right away?!?!?!? Not only did it smell incredible the scraps that fell off were amazing. Granted I haven't had breakfast yet.
Jim
Now Jim tell the truth, did you help them scraps fall off...lol partner they have some great lookin bark...have a great weekend...
And #2 got done at 11 -

Into the box and will see how they are in a few hours/
Jim
Four hours later and all finished. After taking them out and nearly burning my finger pulling the pork I am not a believer that it could keep them hot for 6+ hours.
The GP one -

Tastes like it was already sauced but did turn out dry.
The Salt Lick -

Much moister but not as intense as the injected one.
Both will be good I think. Not going to win prizes but they will be passable for my first time. Will have to rethink the smoke though as the smoke flavor was very mild in both.
Packed up for the fridge and ready to go Monday -

Outta the park!
The smoke flavor will wake up after the rest time, come Mon it should be more robust.
Looks good!
And like OU said, the smoke flavor will be better then next day.
And the last part, the pies.
Did up a couple Southern classics, a peach and pecan.
Was going with apple in the planning but when I went over to the produce area I could smell the peaches. The secret to getting a good peach for a pie is if it doesn't smell like a peach it won't taste like one. These reeked of peachy goodness so "there has been a menu correction."

Also did up a pecan pie (it's a Texas thing) for the feast. This one may have not turned out to well. The oven ran a bit hot from the previous pie and it got a little dark. We'll see how it tastes.

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day.
Most of all to our troops here and past -
Thank you!
Jim
DANG!!!!
You had to break out the pies! I love pecan pie ;D
Holy Crap!
Those pies look gooooooooooooood!
Pecan is my fav.
