Injected and Wrapped Pork Butts - Dr. BBQ Style

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
Got my BGE @ 2009 Eggtoberfest and won the 4-set of Dr. BBQ's cookbooks. These Boston Butts were cooked using the subject recipe from the 'Big-Time Barbecue Cookbook'.

Started by injecting both with Big Pig Pork Injection





Next, I liberally coated both with Big-Time Barbecue Rub



I let them chill out in the fridge before placing them into my large BGE stabilized at 235. The dome temp varied between 235 and 250 during the main cooking time, but I pulled them after 9 hours (approximately 160F), wrapped them in foil and returned them for another 3 hours. Here they were before I pulled and wrapped.



Pulled them at 195F internal, wrapped them in another layer of foil, then towels and put them in a cooler since I finished ahead of schedule. I pulled them from the cooler and pulled after 3 hours, but only have pictures after unwrapping since my SD card maxed out and I didn't have time to unload/reload.





The meat was the juiciest, tenderest I've ever cooked. I'll continue trying different methods and recipes, but this one goes down in the keeper column for me.

    Easy to follow - good choice of ingredients - what's not to like when you end up with lip smackin' goodness when all is said and done!
