    I woke my wife up at 4 am once when my Maverick went off. The butt got finished, so I went back in and woke her up and asked her to come out and look and smell my butt. She thought I was crazy, but she's glad she did it. Now she tells all the friends that I made her get up at 4 am to go outside in the drizzling rain to smell and look at my butt !!!!

  • Put this butt on last night at 7:30pm at 250 solid...pulled it at 10:50am this morning at 198 IT. That was certainly a longer cook than I expected. However, I ignored the clock and focus on the thermapen reading and the feel of the probe going in the meat. The "buttah" feel was something I had no idea what to expect...but when you feel it, you know it. This thing was so tender, the fat cap stayed in the grid when I gently removed the butt from the grill. One slight twist and pull of the bone, and it slide out like it was greased lightening. Immediate foil, towel and cooler....sammiches for a late lunch.

    Nice work. Now you just need some dip sauce, red slaw and hush puppies. Enjoy it and welcome to the board.
