NePaSmoKer · September 23, 2009, 05:18:57 AM

Yeah i know it should be Tex/Mex But i do things different ;D This butt is 12lbs and rubbed with salt, pepper and secret mex/tex rub ;D :D

Got the skin off.

All rubbed down ready for OBS/PID. I think after the 1 hr 40 mins of smoke and the 5 hrs of 225* heat i will cut it up into chunks and oven it for some mexican carnitas ;D

In the OBS/PID

Getting 1 hr 20 mins of hickory and 20 mins of messy wood :P

Please, Lord, give me the strength to survive another round of begging for one of nepas' "secret receipts."

You have a nice butt there nepas. ;) I can't wait to see the finished product. I think I'm going have to get one of those Auber PIDS. I've had the temp run away once already.
