One Tuff Butt

[Hiram]

This butt weighed between 6 and 7 lbs., didn't marinate overnight, injected with apple juice some Memphis rub and slathered with mustard. Put her in on the 2nd rack at 8 am at 220 with 5 hrs of Hickory. After two hours backed it down to 195, here she is going in.


At 3 pm it stalled at 150, stayed that way until 8:30 and climbed to 159 which it was when I went to bed. Woke up at 6 am, still at 159 so I stepped it up to 220 and at 9:45 had 172 intemp, at 1:00 it hit 192 which was what I was shooting for. Left it in another hour (can't hurt it right) FTC and left it in the cooler untill 5:30. Turned out a lot better than I expected on first try, grabbed the bone and it came right out. Some pics.

If I counted on my fingers right, that butt was in the Bradley for 30 hrs.

15 hrs was at 220* 15 hrs at 195* And then 3 1/2 hrs of FTC.

WOW!

It is pretty.

How did it taste?

[Hiram]

It was a long time, but the genius of the Bradley is I only spent maybe 35-40 mins. of that time fussing with it. You would expect it to be dry but it was moist and tender, I just hope the next one isn't that long or I learn how to Turbo cook.

Now that is what I am talking about!

It wouldn't hurt at all to up the cabinet temp to 220 to 230.  

PS - Just how many fingers do you have CRG?

Ahhh, it's good to be back on the forum.
