Smoked Butt for Potluck
So, my department here at work is having their own potluck lunch separate from the rest of the company - I decided to smoke a pork butt for the occasion.
About 8 pounder, smoked with apple chunks @ 275 for about 10 1/2 hours to an internal temp of about 205. After I took it off the egg about 7:30a, I foiled and wrapped in a hot towel before putting it in a styrofoam cooler for storage until lunch. I also retained about a cup and a half of drippings for use after it's pulled this afternoon.
My butts are a bit unconventional - I use a yellow mustard binder with montreal steak seasoning as a rub - I also use a drip pan 3/4 filled with a 50/50 apple cider vinegar water mix.
End results speak for themselves, though. I'll shred it about 1/2 hour before we eat, and I'll let you folks know how many non-IT folks drift over to our potluck.

Hahaha - got underway almost an hour ago. I waited until 10 minutes before to pull it. Bone pulled clean as a whistle.

Yea, I wanted to give a pleasant variety for folks to choose from. The sweet and Tiger sauces mix rather well together, I must say...
