Birthday Butt

[SnellySmokesEm]

SO I definitley had to smoke something on my birthday so I threw in a butt for the BBQ tomorrow.  I picked up a 7lb and injected it with garlic butter and rubbed with Famous Dave's Rib Rub and slathered with CYM.  I put it in the smoker @ 205 with hickory chips. If I timed this right the butt should be ready for ftc around 8am Sunday.  Here are some pics:



Well I'm outta here, time for some seafood dinner.  No cooking tonight!

12 hours into the smoke.  Temp is reading 169. Cabinet temp is 201.   Must be about time for the stall???

Night Night little piggy. See you in the morning.

[ArnieM]

Yeah, it could be stalling.  If you're shooting for an IT of 195 or so, I'd get the cabinet temp up to about 220.

Oh god look at the bark on that thing. Nice work Snelly. Man I got to find a butcher around here.

Good Morning...  This is what the butt looked like 22 hours into the cook.  The IT is at 187. 


In hindsight maybe I should not have turned the cabinet down to 200, but I swore I wasnt going to get up all night and check the temp.  ;)  It's all good it will still be ready in time and should get about 2 hours ftc.  Cant wait.
