Got to be Flexable
« Reply #-1 on: November 01, 2013, 03:06:29 PM »
18 lb cryovac of butt.
8 hours in cool water bath still partially frozen :o
Well I like to cook smaller butts anyway ::)
This is both a need & recreational cook. Two butts for tailgating for the cowboys game Nov. 10
High 70F , not a cloud in sky, lite wind ,after the storms just enjoyable to sit & feed the fire ;D
The cooker is my New Braunfel's offset, charcoal starter with oak mini logs for fuel.
Mustard rub with Tim's fine swine BBQ rub.

What are you doing with the charcoal/splits?  Why two baskets?

Looking good LA. Why the preference for smaller pork butts?  More rub and smoke coverage?

Oops that pic was for another post, I have two sized baskets I use, the small for short or monitored cooks & the big for set & forget.
When cooking with wood I start with 2-3 lbs charcoal & couple chunks wood & add a split every hour of so after.

Got it.  I thought you were using two baskets (surprised by even one, but hey whatever) and was confused.  So just sticks on a charcoal bed this time, right?

Butts done & ready for resting.
Had to get a bite ::)
Very tasty, Tim' rub is very good!
I'm reminded that burning wood gives a milder smoke taste than charcoal with smoldering wood.
