in Pork
Did a 7.25 # bone in pork butt yesterday, rubbed it with Mickey's coffee rub (first time using this rub) and did a turbo cook @350 for 6 1/2 hours.  I tell you it was awesome, love, love the coffee rub.  Will be doing this one again soon!  Sorry didn't take a pic of the butt before I pulled it, the bark was tasteee.  Served it with sweated onions, homemade bbq sauce on a fresh kaiser roll, man it was good.

    Okay, now here is my question.  Did you put any water in the pan or did you just sit the pan on the plate setter and allow the drippings to accumulate?

    Most eggcellent cook. 

    And @BrianDlaw-welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Regardless of water or not in the pan-elevate the pan from the platesetter so any drippings don't burn. Easy to do with some balled up foil, washers...you get the idea.

    What lousubcap said, no water in the pan, elevated with foil balls.  Easy , so easy!  And so freckin good.

    I never use water. Never elevate the drip pan either,  for that matter. Always good eats. 

    But I never would have considered coffee rub on a butt either. LOL.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Thank you for the welcome. I am going to do a 9ish pound butt tomorrow while I do yard work. Should I rub the night before or a couple of hours before I put it on? Going to use 3 Little Pigs rub. All thoughts are welcome.

    Brian, I never rub until it's time to put it on the grill. Some do it the night before, some barely remember to do it at all. I'm the latter. :) Comes out pretty good.
