New to BGE and doing first Boston Butt

johnkitchens

@GaDadx3 that was a great looking cook. I also did my first butt over the weekend. It turned out great. 

I can't wait to do my next one.

Looks Great!

Thanks! I definitely learned a lot for the first one and came to find 250 works out perfect. I plan to do another one in a couple weeks and I will be much more at ease now knowing what to expect.

+1 on fox brothers. One of the better, if not the best, q restaurants in the ATL.

@tulocay‌ Last week was our first time there. Great place, really enjoyed it!

So I am cooking my first pork butt tomorrow. Thanks for all of the helpful tips. I ordered some rockwood lump. I am going to use some oak and black cherry! I am using some dizzy pig pineapple head and dust combo. I also cooked up some vinegar based sauce.

@Chkultr‌ sounds good, and looks awesome. Would love to see pics of the final cook.

What is on the top of the front piece that looks like a burnt sheet of paper?
In your prep pictures I noticed you had something held on with tooth picks...  ?

How was it?
