3rd Round PBC - Pork Butt
« Reply #-1 on: December 30, 2015, 12:21:46 AM »
Round 3 on my new PBC, this time pork butt about 5.5lb.  I did this one on the 21st and just had some time to post it now.  Kind of a full circle post from my first Thanksgiving turkey disaster.  Temps were pretty much on point and I am much closer to a better charcoal light, than I was even on my 2nd cook.

  • Filled basket a little above the rim.
  • Put 35 charcoal in chimney
  • Put a newspaper in between the coals in the chimney
  • 20 minutes to light
  • Put the coals in the basket with 3 chunks of applewood
  • Let sit with the lid open and rebar in for 20 more minutes.
  • Put the butt in with both rebar.
  • PBC temp was 400+ (temp gauge read HHH) when I closed the lid.
  • 15 minutes in temp was PBC 364
  • 28 minutes PBC 335
  • 1hr 30min - PBC 284
  • 1hr 50min - internal temp 139 PBC temp 228
  • 1hr 50min - removed rebar settled at pbc temp 279
  • 3hr 40min PBC temp 286 pork internal temp 168
  • Wrapped with beef broth and leinenkugel cranberry ginger shandy
  • Remove from PBC at 5 hours internal temp 200
  • Let rest for an hour.

Looks real good! It also looks like you got the coals where you need them now.

A great success story - and thanks for documenting it in the way you did. The bullet points make it easy to see exactly what you did and what worked for you.

And...anything with Leinenkuegel has got to be good ;) ;D

It really was a team effort.  Thanks to all for the assist and ideas along the way!  It definitely was appreciated!

Have a great new year everyone, maybe I'll cook and post some ribs next!

Just saw this as I don't get notified for some reason of new posts.  We were all warm this December but where I am in The southeastern most point of SC we were probably around 65-70 this day.  Elevation close to sea level.  Don't call my area The Low Country for nothing.  Lol
