Dueling Pork Butts
Options
Happy Labor Day!
Yesterday, for the first time I smoked two Pork Butts on my XL BGE. They were roughly 9lb each.
I first cleaned out my XL and stuffed it full of lump and cherry chunks
I prepped the two butts by applying a coat of yellow mustard then adding a liberal about of rub.
I fired up the egg and got it ready for an over night cook.
I put the two butts on at 2300 Saturday night. I figured it would take about 15-16 hours. But I was wrong, it only took about 13 hours.
I took them off the egg and FTC them.
Emma thought it smelled pretty good!
I FTC it for 5 hours before shredding the meat. The foil was still hot to the touch.
Hope everybody had a good holiday weekend, back to the grind tomorrow

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
Great cook!

They were awesome @johnkitchens. I was a little disappointed in the bark, it was a little soft. I'm thinking it was because I had to FTC so long?Cooking on a XL BGE from Allendale, Mi.

Yes, bark will soften during a FTC.Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
Thanks for the info @jtcBoynton. How long into the FTC does the bark begin to really soften up?Cooking on a XL BGE from Allendale, Mi.
