They ALL look GREAT!

Howd the party go?

All I needs with that is some buns and some of Louisiana's best!  Fine job!

Butt #2 with Jans Rub Pulled with Pats Ho-Made BBQ Sauce


Butt #3 with Batman's Rub and CYM Pulled Famous Dave's BBQ


All the Butts sauced and ready for the BBQ


Man the Butts were  a hit!  I had a lot of compliments.  The unanimous winner was Batman's Rub with Famous Daves BBQ Sauce but Jan's Rub with Pats was a very close second.  I must admit the I have always liked Pats the best but after finding Famous Dave's in Cali (I have tried it before at Batman's house) and bringing some home I have a new favorite sauce for my Butts.  I also enjoyed the Carolina Treet but I am not sure people in FL who are not accustomed to True BBQ can appreciate a Carolina Vinegar based sauce.

Snelly - which one do you think tastes best?
STC - I got a bottle of Adobo when we were at Penzey's in STL - Grab some when you come get your MONSTA load of other stuff.

Before any sauce was added I think I liked the but with Jan's rub on it.  But after all I like salt and Jan's rub has a lot of salt in it.

IMHO, the CT is a great "cooking" sauce, but it is not for tableside.

It does go great with Vaunted Vinegar, but you're right, most people down here flock to the sweet goopy stuff.

I agree as well.  I added all the sauces on Sunday when I was reheating the 3 butts.  I also reheated with beef broth in each cock pot.

You did nothing wrong Matt but, I always serve the sauce on the side. I figure I (You) went through a lot of trouble to get the flavors and smoke into that butt. I don't want to cover it all up with the flavor of BBQ Sauce. Folks are then judging based on the sauce taste rather than the taste of the meat.

What 10.5 said.  ;D

Since I reheated the butts at my mom's house she just had to take picture and plaster them all over facebook.  Here's one

this was her quote "Regardless....the mouth-watering aroma escaping from those 3 crockpots was overwhelmingly wonderful!"

I have found that a lot of people on the forum serve it that, but that being said I live in florida and a lot of people down here dont know "true" bbq. Basically BBQ down here is defined as a cookout.  The crockpot with the CT was basically plain.  There was only really about a 1/4 bottle of CT in the cook and thats the one that had the most left. 

Thanks guys for all the comments and praise.  I love it when it all comes together and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
