Worked basically all weekend and had planned on doing 2 turkey breasts for the in-laws Memorial Day feast. Sure they supplies me with the breast so I said why not! SO i woken up Sunday afternoon (I work nights) to my soon to be father in law saying so how do you feel about doing a brisket or a pork butt for tomorrow as well, I say "that's gonna be tough because everything is in the chest freezer and I will never get it thawed in time" You would think I broke his heart because the sound of defeat in his voice was unbelievable. SO I got off the phone with him and thought about this. I figured I could go to the store buy a nice sized butt rub it down and not let it sit but immediately put it in and smoke and cook while I was at work Monday morning, and that's EXACTLY what I did.
The players:
9 # pork butt rubbed with Shiggs in Pit BBQ rub and then a layer of molasses and another layer of Shiggs in Pit heavier this time for extra bite to the bark. 4.25 hours of smoke 3 hours of hickory and 80 mins of cherry. I had the Bradley up to 320 since there was wind and rain all night and the maverick wouldn't read above 240. I kept the butt in the box until I came home and then transferred the butt into the oven while I smoked the 2 turkey breasts.
The Players:
1 6 # and 1 7 # turkey breasts slatherd in Jan's rub Pretty simple and straight forward. 2 hours of Apple smoke and had the temp set for 280. I kept these in the box until the butt was done in the oven FTC'd that and transferred the birds into the oven and set the temp to 350 because I wanted to crisp the skin so here we are.

Now into the oven until IT reached 190 (at this point it was reading 171, it took 3 hours to get it to 190)

And that's all she wrote folks. Sorry I didn't get to take any picks of the pork pulled of the turkey sliced but I was getting yelled at because I took my phone out to take pics and all I heard was cut the turkey, feed us now so yeah......I created a monster because EVERYONE is asking for more.
As BBQ sauces and dipping sauces I used Bulldog's BBQ, the Grapette sauce and a new Blueberry BBQ sauce I made. All which were a hit.
***NOTE when I came home my fiance asked me to make her some chicken breast for her salad for lunch for the following day, why not I've only been going 30 + hours. When I asked her how she wanted it she said "Oooooh oooooh put some of that lady's rub on it that I like!" I said Jan's rub from my site I go on, she said "yeah that one that stuff is SOOOOO GOOD!" I replied, oh yes I know it and many many many others do too!!!!! Just thought that was a nice end to the night ;D

Good looking food there :P
Sure looks like you ate real well over the weekend, great job...
Great job! Way to impress the future in-laws ;)
Great cook Consooger! You did a great job of making everything work out, especially when you got thrown a variable at the last minute.
I'll tell "the lady" who made the Rub how much you guys like it! ;) Thanks for the compliments. Jan and I appreciate it.

Honestly wasn't sure how that butt would work out with not letting it sit for a while all lathered up, came out great I must say.
Next butt is the molasses and salt lick rub for my brother in a few weeks, I LOVE heat so I'm excited about this next one!
