Title: Pork butt with controlled temps
Post by: Smokin Papa Steve on June 13, 2016, 05:46:11 PM
Found a 6 lb small butt and got it ready for the PBC.  Cooked on the grate using Royal Oak briquettes.  I wanted to get the temps down so did as others and went to Home Depot to buy a $1.97 package of 6 one inch diameter magnets to cover the rebar holes.  Eventually found the optimum magnet placement and got the temp to range from 240 to 260 which is fine.  I usually spritz with apple juice but this time applied a coconut-pineapple water mix.  Finished earlier (4.5 hours) so I let it hang out in a cooler until dinner.  It tastes just as good as when using my PK Grill but more much less time.  As usual I only lit about 20 coals and filled the coal basket 3/4.  To shut the PBC down I covered the rebar holes completely with the magnets and stuffed some foil in the intake hole.  It cooled down really fast.  And about 2/3 of the coals were untouched so they will be used for the next cook

Nice looking chunk of pork butt.  Looks very tasty

Great job on adding to the versatility of that cooker.
Man, wish my tasted buds could handle charcoal taste and than would sure buy a PBC.
