Not Just an Ordinary Butt

[Habanero Smoker]

I usually don't post pictures of something I have already smoked; but I had to post a picture of this butt I got from Sam's Club. When you purchase from Sam's, you have to get the cryovac; and two butts come in the package. Usually two butts will weigh around 14 pounds, but this package weighed in at 19.6 pounds. I figured both butts were around 9.5 pounds, but when I opened it up, one butt weighed 7.5 pounds and the other a little of 12. So I guess that would qualify to post a picture of something I've never done.



It went into the smoker this morning. It's not the best picture I've taken, but as you can see it took up the entire tray.

That's a hunk of meat!!  ::)  I had to laugh because you'd probably need a permit to own a chunk like that here in Switzerland.  Hope you post a picture of the finished product.

I have to ask,,What rub did you use???? and what time is dinner, I'll bring tha tatter salad... ;) LOL

[Habanero Smoker]

I mixed up a batch of "The Renowned Mr. Brown". Usually I have some rub left over, but not this time. It's been in the smoker since 8:00 AM and the internal temperature is 135°F; it it looks like it may be a long night. Right now it's looking like breakfast, so bring the orange juice instead. :)

Hab, I like that rub too, with the cheap yellow mustard slapped on first. See, I'm learnin'. ;D

Hey Hab,
How did it turn out?  After pics?
How long did your project take?  I am looking at 18-20 lbs this weekend, and I've never done two before.  Curious about total cook time, and what cab temp you used.
I looking at using Renowned Mr Brown as well, based on your comments from another thread, where the SnS recipe was call Soccer rub.  Do you use CYM, or just dry spice to meat?

I want to make sure I leave enough time, so my initial thoughts are eat at 6-6:30 Mon night, so back off 3 hours of lea way time which I can FTC in, so done around 3:00pm.  Back that off 12 hours is 3am, and if I go 15 that's midnight Sunday.

Any thoughts...???...
