Butts for work

[Drac]

Hi all,

Don't know what happened the first time.  Site went wacky on me.

With your guy's help getting ready to do up my first butts for work Monday, I don't get a 3 day weekend. 

As from the other post I am going with Gunshot injected, GP rubbed on one and the Salt Lick clone on the other.

1 at 6# and the other at 6.5#-



On in Salt Lick -



One Gunshot injected and GP rubbed -



In the fridge last night and will start smoking tomorrow afternoon -



Hope to finish Saturday morning, FTC for a couple than shred and store in the fridge.  Will do the crock pot thing to heat it up.

Let me know if you think gunshot and gunpowder is the best :o

[beefmann]

looks you  are well on your way and have a good plan.... smoke and cook in the smoker til 185 ... pull and FTC  with apple juice  for a couple of  hours  then shred for pulled pork... and enjoy

[Slamdunk]

Looking good!

What type of buns or bread and cole slaw are you going to be serving with it?

[Drac]

The cole slaw and bread will be provided by others.  I believe the bread will be Hawaiian rolls for the buns. 

Basically pulled pork sliders.

Good stuff!   Makes the meat go farther..

Sounds like a great lunch Drac! I'm sure everyone will be happy!  ;D

Looks good allready.

We have them on rolls most of the time around here too, sweet dough and sourdough rolls.

Cant wait to see and here about the finished product.

Got home and got the butts in the Bradley.

Got the probe going through the top this time instead of the door.  Got the probe in the lower one for now, the timer set at 2 hours to change the water and 4 hours of hickory in the hopper -





After taking it out I do have to wonder if I cured the butt with the injector.  Here is the liquid run off, over a cup  -



Now everything is up to fate.

You'll want to reset that digital timer before you go to bed.  For some reason I think they shut down at 9 hours??

Yep, 9 h 40 m. 

I assume I should rotate, flip and switch at least once?

Don't hit the snooze button in the morning...you got some co-workers mouths starting to water already!  ;D

[squirtthecat]

Yeah, I would swap/rotate them before you go to bed.

Do you have room to move them up a notch to the next set of shelves?    That one on the bottom will get a fair amount of heat from the element..

[Drac]

Made it happen.
