    Epic outcome is downstream.  Can't wait for the finish. 
    Louisville; "indeterminate Jim" here.  Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!

    Thanks - but I kept wondering where the "peach" part came in!

    I personally have QUITE a few feet of dried peach tree wood so that really caught my eye...

    Out of the brine and into my hi tech seasoning tray. The seasoning is a mixture of a bunch of previous mixtures, so I have no idea of the mix breakdown other than there is some heat, sweetness, onion, garlic mustard seed smoked paprika chili powder, ancho chili powder, cayenne, kosher salt, black pepper, and other stuff, I can’t remember.

    I used two jars of Smucker’s Peach preserves. Slathered on all sides of the already rubbed pork butt…going on somewhere between 225°F and 250°F if I am lucky.

    Johnny Tarheel, my man! How you doing brother? Hope all is going well for you. I am better thank you for asking. 
    Now if I can get this peach butt across the line I will be feeling a heck of a lot large and in charge. We shall see.

    2 empty jars of Smucker’s finest preserves they ever made for a slow smoke and roast, it is now a bonafide Peach Butt starting to cook, we shall see if it is a Peach butt after the cook.

    We shall see. Hoping for the best, ready for the worst. 

    Good to see you Ron, hoping all is going well.

    I am using peach wood for smoke on this as well. It does an outstanding job with pork.

    Looking great.

    I'm likely doing to do a few of these in about a month.  Thanks for the reminder.

    That's awesome.  Do you have a special biscuit recipe?

    I brine 12-24 hours. I squally do 24, this one got 12. It will still be awesome. The rub and the preserves keep so much more moisture. 

    Great question, sorry I did not address it earlier.

    Reached 203°F, internal, jiggled when I placed the peel under it. The cracklin of this is awesome. The crust is delicious. I recommend a Pinot noir Rosé. When you quit picking at it, go with an awesome white. We have a white burgundy, we will open tonight.

    Letting it settle for an hour or two, one hour is fine.

    This dude is my brother, everyone. He is being nice because he don’t want me to drink the Tito’s he left, the last time he came up.

    Just kidding. That Tito’s is long gone. Those Bloodies, unreal.

    Thank you Robin, for being a good friend.

    @YukonRon - Looks delicious, hoping for pics when it's pulled.
    Curious about your drip pan, what is that?

    It looks delicious. Do you hit it with any seasoning after you pull it or does the peach preserves, rub, and brine give it all the flavor it needs?  I haven’t been able to find any peach preserves at my stores. I’ll need to check Amazon.

    I add nothing for seasoning, but I do use sauce I make. 

    Great question, I should have addressed sooner.
