Hello All,
Tried a pork butt today on my new PBC. This was my second cook.
Definitely learned a few more things that worked well today, but still not quite a rousing success.
Today, I opened the lower intake a tad (may open a bit more next week)
I used more lighter fluid and I got better coals to start. The lid of the barrel was definitely hotter this week (although last week it was snowing and much colder).
I also took a couple of pics -
First is the butt on the PBC --
Second is how it came out.
I think I definitely pulled it too soon as it was more of a roasted / chopped pork as opposed to pulled.
Flavor was great but I think I would have need much more time.
It was about a 8 lb butt and I don't think I allowed myself enough time. I tried to finish in the oven.
My Maverick has left me so I tried a different thermo and I am not sure how accurate it was.
I am planning to get a new Maverick so I can monitor the pit temp as well.
The pork had a nice flavor and smoke ring, just need a few more tweaks to get me there.
All comments / suggestions definitely appreciated.
Thank you
