Ok, so I'm trying to plan Saturdays cook. It's between brisket which would need to begin tonight after I take SWMBO out on a date and Boston Butts. I wanna do a low and slow. Is anyone else feeling it?

Doing a butt overnight Sunday night. If you want to leave it an forget it with guaranteed results, go butt. If you want to spend the day hanging with the egg, and trying to win a battle with a piece of meat, go with brisket. Both have endless leftover capabilities.

I'm doing a brisket on Sunday, so I vote for that.

If you got the time, do the brisket. I've got to work tomorrow so it's ribeyes tonight and probably chicken breast tomorrow

Nothing tonight... And tomorrow the wife is going out with her girlfriends. I am trying to plan a daddy daughter date, she is up to eating just about any cuisine so I am trying figure in something that her and I would like that her mother wouldn't. Leaning towards a fish or sushi restaurant.
Egging Sunday for sure... Just not sure what yet. Turkey breast?MSV Chill Spot

Nothing major planned. Probably just some snacks. Bacon wrapped shrimp and some chicken wings at some point.

Supposed to snow heavily all weekend, but still have some leftover Alton Brown Meatloaf V.2 and some ScaryGus left over from Monday; that'll do._____________

No brisket to be found. Settled on an. 8# butt. Yay. X(
At least it's the 1st one on the egg. Should be done in 12 don't you think?Huntsville, Al LBGE -
I'm with Chubbs on this one, because I don't have brisket dialed in yet. A but is a very forgiving, but very satisfying, hunka meat to smoke. Sounds like you ended up with a butt. You're gonna have great Saturday anyways!#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Nothing wrong with a nice butt, how dialed in is your dome thermometer? If it's calibrated right I'd say 250-275 for the first 5-6 hours and then adjust the temp to when you want to eat or when you plan to put it in a cooler to rest.

Just calibrated it 4 days ago. I have got such a late start. It's raining cats and dogs.Huntsville, Al LBGE

The first butt I ever cooked was for the Super Bowl 3 years ago. It was a six pounder and I woke up at 3 in the morning to put it on. It was on for over 12 hours and I still had to raise the temp to get it finished (barely) by 5 pm to serve at half time. Ever since I haven't gone quite the complete low and slow method for the pork butt. Depending on how much smoke you want the butt to absorb and what charcoal you are using you can do a butt as hot as 400 degrees and still come up with a very edible product.

First half done, Looks Pretty Darn Good Used Apple and Pecan Wood for smoke

Good luck man! I just packed up 16 lbs of butt this morning from a modified turbo I did last night.

I thinking chicken later this afternoon. If the rain will hold off.

Well. Sorry for misleading you guys. Here come the excuses. But here it goes.
I was so exhausted last night when me and the wife got home and it was raining cats and dogs till 3 am I didn't fool with the pork butt.
I woke up early but instill didn't have time to do it. Maybe tonite. I stopped and got a 2.5# beef bottom round roast.
I'm cooking till it 200. Oklahoma Joes brisket rub and mustard.
Oh and these. Of course.
And I stained my table. Finally.

Can you get bottles for the yuengling? "Black and Tan" and "Lord Chesterfield Ale" is good stuff.
-
Yes we can. I had bottles earlier in the week.
I haven't tried any of the either, but I've seen the Black and Tan. Not the other.Huntsville, Al LBGE -
It's usually out in the variety packs around the holidays.
Come up to Pennsylvania, walk into any bar and just ask for a "lager". Yuengling is what they give you. I love the stuff. -
I had gotten away from drinking it. But, I'm headed back towards it. It is very good. Dunno why I even quit drinking it.Huntsville, Al LBGE

Did you mustard and season it immediately before you put it on or did you do that at all in advance? My grocery had "rump roast" on sale (is that similar to "bottom round roast"?) and I just picked one up to cook tomorrow. I've never done one on the Egg before, so any advice welcome. I am aiming for something I can slice really thin during the week for my 16 year old son to take to school in sandwiches- isn't he lucky?Charleston, SC

That's the 1st one I did. It's better to do. I did min at 350 indirect till it was 130 then seared till it was 145. I'd suggest putting the rub on as early as possible.Huntsville, Al LBGE
-
OK- I might put the rub on tonight if I have the energy. I was also thinking about sticking it with little holes with my mechanical tenderizer. I hadn't thought about doing it indirect- I'll give it a try. Any pics of the finished product? Thanks!Charleston, SC
