Title: First butt a huge success

OK, I waited to talk about this until I had pics, though I am sure you guys want more pics!

I marinated the butt overnight in Jan's rub, then removed it to warm up 3 hour before smoking, and added some additional rub. I started smoking the butt at 6 PM yesterday, for 4 hours in the Bradley trying to hold 210, with Hickory (sorry, no pics in the smoker yet, of anything I have made). Then, transferred to oven for about 12 hours, 9 @ 210, 3 @ 225 then FTC for 2 hours, then sandwiches!

Here is it after the overnight marination:

Here it is after smoking, starting the low and slow overnight cook in the oven:

and here after pulling:

We had it for lunch so my wife could enjoy it immediately, as she works nights and will not be here for dinner.

Looks really good! What IT did you take that butt to?

190 checked with the Maverick probe in a couple of places. I did not check IT after FTC. My manual quick-reading thermo did not quite show 190, but I trust the Maverick more.
