First time ever attempting a pork butt on a pbc, can't wait to see how it turns out. It's a balming 27 degrees here in Minneapolis and the 9lb butt is on the cooker as of 9:45am.
Here's a pic of the butt from last night before putting the rub on.

Here she is on the cooker.

Starting food temp is 55
Starting was around 300
Off to go paint the babies room and check back in a few hours.

Looking good ! Keep us posted.

Will you be wrapping at some point or no?
-
Looks good. I see that you tied it. Do you do that for some manner of advantageous reason or just personal preference?
-
Looks like it should be good!!! Don

Off to a good start.

The butt is still cooking away...
To answer a couple questions. I tied it up a bit only because of the size and the fact there were loose portions that I felt could have eventually pulled themselves free. I also decided to wrap this time and try without on the next.
Added a little bourbon barrel cherry stout for a little wrapping juice.

Well the final results look fantastic!

Excellent looking pp

Bourbon is the best way to finish up any good bbq.
-
You kicked it - very nice! Thank you for sharing it (well the pictures anyway... ::) ::))
-
looks excellent!
-
Man! That really does look excellent!!!!!

Looks great! I am amazed at how much faster the PBC cooks things in relation to my other cookers. I must admit that I do like butts to cook for a loooooong time, they become more tender in my opinion. I have done one butt and it was for those Cubanos that I made and it was mighty tasty though ;)
The PBC delivers for sure, Caj.....you need to get you one!
