Title: My First Butt on the SRG
Post by: sparkdogg77 on December 03, 2016, 01:29:05 PM

Well, this morning I decided I would go buy a butt since they are on sale and try to cook one for tonight's supper.  I've never cooked one before but after seeing all the posts on the forum, I figured I would give it try.  :)


Man...does this hickory smoke smell good!

8.5lb butt went in the SRG at 12:30pm and reached 203 on my wireless but read 208 on my instant read at 6:10pm.

I'm not sure how important the 2 hour rest is for the meat but since that's what I keep reading, I guess I will not be eating it for supper tonight, although I did sample a few pieces that stuck to the rack and it was yummy!  :)

So, I wrapped it in foil and a towel and placed it in a cooler for now.

Should I pull it in a couple of hours and refrigerate it or just leave it in the cooler until lunch tomorrow (around 19 hrs)?

Thanks for all the information about the SRG and cooking that you guys put on here, especially TMB.  You guys are awesome!

Great looking cook. Not your last butt cook that is for sure. Resting meat after cooking is important. The meat will continue to cook a bit, it will become more tender, and the rest allows the juices to redistribute throughout the cut.

Great job  :thumbup:

Great looking butt!!   :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:      I have always planned for two hrs rest, although you could eat 15 mins out of the cooker.    To me 2+ hrs works best for me

I ended up pulling it apart last night and refrigerating - didn't want to take any chances.

I heated it up today for lunch and made some Lexington or NC style BBQ sauce and slaw.  It was delicious!
