Molasses slathered Pork Butt
« Reply #-1 on: December 23, 2013, 03:31:04 PM »
Did an overnighter. Took 15 hours to bring it to 195. Had the maverick standing guard all night. It all went smooth.
Here are the players. I injected about a cup of apple cider vinegar and apple juice mix with some of the seasoning in it. Then slathered with molasses and dusted with some Zack's. Got down to a bone chilling 47F last night ;) :D plus it was windy. I covered the Traeger with some old towels that I keep around for this exact thing. Works like a champ. Here are the pics.

Looks great Mike! Porkie butt always gets me hungry.  :P

Someone here suggested a welding blanket for cold cooks, I found one at a welding supply for just over 25.00. Works great!

Looks like you remembered how to cook during your absence Mike.  If you need me to confirm that, head up 45 until you see that big D and drop me off a plate.

Awesome looking pork butt and photos Mike! I agree with Don about the use of towels.

Bone chilling 47 degrees huh? That's a spring thaw here.

Nice looking moist poke and barkage!

Yup, I've also read that. When I get around to it, I will get one myself. Just something I don't think about till it gets cold

I know what you're saying Mike. We know it's gonna get cold, but put things off hoping it won't get cold! I do it often!  ::)

I don't have any first-hand experience with them but I've read that some welding blankets shed fiberglass.
