Dueling Pork Butts

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 

:((

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?

Yes, bark will soften during a FTC.

Thanks for the info @jtcBoynton.  How long into the FTC does the bark begin to really soften up?
