CT and Jans Rubb Butt

[KevinG]

I've been threatening to do this, and now the time has come to smoke some butt. Getting things ready now and here's how it went.

Started with a 7.2lb Pork Butt


Got some magical ingredients:
The ever popular Carolina Treet


And of course every body's favorite Jans Rub


Started some CT injection - one word of caution: Always cover whatever you're injecting, I found out the hard way that injection likes to shoot out like a water wiggle.


After the injection, I did a little slather with some CT


Finally I piled on some of Jans Rub, kinda like playing in wet sand here but it was fun. Should of brought out some buckets to make some castles.


Now for the wait. I'll be popping this in the Bradley with 4 hours of hickory probably around 6 or 6:30 tonight. We'll get some smokey pics up here then.

Impressive injector and I'm sure the butt will be good!   ;D

Looks good Kevin, hope all goes well overnight.

I pulled the butt out at 5:00 P.M. and got the smoker ready setting the temp at 280° F. At 6:00 P.M. the smoker was reading 220° and smoke just started rolling so I put the butt in. After an hour, the IT is 30° F and the smoker is running at 200° F. I slathered a little more sauce on.

I'm right there with ya tonight. I have two butts in the smoker that went in around 7:00 PM. Cold out tonight and now at 10:30 the cabinet temp is only around 185. I figure with the outside temps so low and 15# of meat in there it will take some time. I also injected these two butts for the first time. Good luck with yours and I'll post the results of mine as well.

Looks like I got an hour jump on you. It'll be a long night.

[JF7FSU]

What kind of injector is that?

[DTAggie]

It's a super duper butt injector

[jimmyb]

ok, looking for an update from you to compare. I'm at 13 hrs in the smoker with two butts (7.3# and 7.8#). Temp in the smoker only found its way to about 195 all night. I'm kind of surprised that one butt has an IT of 164* and one is at 145*. You just can't tell what a butt will do. I thought the IT would be much less because of the low cabinet temps.

So let us know where you are at so we can compare the differences in our butts

I like big butts and I can not lie  ;D  Now you will have that tune in your head for the rest of the day.   Looking good.

The injector is a SpitJack Magnum Meat Injector Gun, I bought all 3 needles for it. The thing is awesome.

Now backing into the butt

At 8:00 A.M. the cabinet temp was running at 237° F and the IT was 170° F. I looked outside and found a slight problem.



What are the odds - rain in Arizona on my smoke day  >:(

So I donned my raingear and will tough it out.

[wyoduke]

Rain wow its 3 degrees in Wyoming must be liven right.

[KevinG]

Woo Hoo! 11:55 A.M. and this is what I got.



Opened the door and lookie here, can anybody say arf arf?



Wrapped it up like a tin man.



And going to do some FTM for about an hour.
