9# Boston Butt Low and Slow

thegooddocta

Oh yeah - time for a long overnight smoke! Who cares if it's snowing? I'm warming up with a Foolproof Shuckolate Chocolate-Oyster Stout (local RI meat and a local RI beer - oh yeah).

The cook is a 9# Boston Butt hit with mustard and dizzy pig swamp venom. I'm smoking with a mix of pecan and apple wood. I'm going to pull it for a birthday party tomorrow afternoon, and will be sure to update with some during and after pics!

Thanks for all of the advice so far!

Good luck on the overnighter.  Are you running a controller or going old school?

thegooddocta

Thanks! Running my home brew controller - the Heatermeter v4.2.4. I'm running without the fan though tonight - don't have that working well enough quite yet. Just getting text messages if my temperatures start to get out of whack.

thegooddocta

It's on!

2 10lb on tonight. 

thegooddocta

@henapple - 20lbs of pork! Wow! What's the occasion? And what's your rub? Looks great!

hondabbq

27 lbs going on at 5 am. About 10 minutes from now. 

thegooddocta

Looking good! You going turbo? I just took a peek, and my 9#er is going to be delicious!

Good start to the day everyone!   Keep up the good work! 

Blassiter

Do you guys inject prior to the cook?

thegooddocta

@Blassiter - just rub on mustard for me - no injection... I was going to try injecting during the cook in this one but decided against it.

I guess I'm a semi turbo guy. Holding at 275

No occasion really...bagging up for a guy's fishing trip, some for my daughter and a little for the freezer. If I need one, I always do two. Same lump and time invested.

Kicked up the temp to power through the stall - this baby is coming off in about 1.5hrs at 195F and then I'll FTC it for a few hours until I need to pull it for a friend's birthday party tonight. Oh yeah.

thegooddocta

And the meteorite has landed. Oh yeah. FTC for a few hours then party time!

thegooddocta

That is by far the best butt I've done. Hybrid turbo from now on... The Fogo lump I used was basically huge logs and it lasted the whole 16hr burn!

Nice work

^^ 2 of the 3 ready for cryo

Blassiter

@Hondabbq, at what temp did you cook at what internal temp did you reach?

thegooddocta

@hondabbq - that puts my 9# to shame!

Update for you all - there was NONE left after the party! Crazy! Definitely going to run it the same way next time!

hondabbq

@blassiter I cooked at 250-275F. All 3 butts were 9 lbs and they took 12 hours.
I always go to 200F then check for doneness with a probe. Not too often I have to go higher.

@thegooddocta those pics of the pork after pulling are money!

Blassiter

Thanks @hondabbq! Will be going this route next time for sure.
