Butt, Thighs, 'n ABTs

55Kevy

I solicited input on a planned cook of butt, thighs, and ABTs in an earlier post - thanks to all who commented. 

I did the cook yesterday for a small party of 10 people last night.  Everything turned out great!  Went with Dizzy Dust on the butt (a little one, 3 1/4 # boneless, but took almost 5 hrs to finish at ~325F), Tsunami Spin on the thighs, and did 1/2 the ABTs with just cheese/shallot filling and 1/2 with a little chorizo mixed in.  Thighs and ABTs went on after the butt was removed and spent another ~ 75 - 80 min at around 300F (I just let the egg do its thing after the butt was taken off).

These were my first ABTs and I'm hooked.  They're a little trouble to assemble, and I took some advice from here to zap the bacon ahead of time which made it a little harder to handle, but man the results are well worth it.

Pic is after the thighs and ABTs went on - I got too involved with other prep to take any finished pics, but the ABTs were appetizers (of course) and the pulled pork and pulled chicken starred in self-serve soft tacos with the usual accompaniments.
