Memphis dust on a pork butt plus PBC = Best bark ever. Better than any restaurant I've had.

Hey Paul - how long did you cook it? What was the temp. range? Did it pull easily?

I'm guessing t was 8-9 hours because I didn't wrap during the stall. I fell asleep and when I woke up the IT had dropped two degrees from when my daughter last checked it so I figured the barrel was getting cold. That was at about 7 something hours so I put it in the oven for 30 minutes to finish, and then I wrapped and wrapped in a towel and put In a cooler for about 40 minutes. Pulled great, like t wanted to be pulled. It was about 4 1/2 lbs to start

Oh, the temp range. It hung out around 225 at first for about an hour, and I cracked the lid a few times to check and add wood to it and each time the temp came up a little and stayed. I went to bed around 265 and woke up two hours later at 300! I was surprised that it went up that much that late into it. I started out at about 20° outside. I'm sure that had some effect.

Pork looks good, Appears to have had a nice smoke ring.  What's the bread? Giant biscuit ?

It looks especially good, Paul.  And thanks for posting the cook details.  It makes it easier for those of us that are less-skilled to duplicate the results.

I'm thinking that the bark was hard and crisp rather than chewy.  Right?

Less skilled! Lol. I'm probably the least skilled here!
The bark is somewhere in between I guess. But it's sweet and tasty and a perfect compliment for pork. Look up Meatheads Memphis Dust and give it a shot, there's some science behind it. Magic happens after about 2 hours into the cook. You might have to break out the coffee grinder for the ground Rosemary or make a trip to Penzeys, but it's worth it. Makes stupid-good ribs too.
