Just put on a Boston butt, frozen solid then thawed four to 6 days in the fridge, soaking up rubs prior to freezing, and just on at 3:31 p.m. this afternoon in thick hickory smoke on a double rack setup over a drip pan. Man does it smell great with a finish of fresh ground peppercorns and hot jamacian mustard rubbed in extra.
Ideal weather for Boston Rub cooks...:-) Boy do I love Iowa. Where else can you have preliminary blizzard conditions and tulips and daffodils on their way up! Neighbor mowed his lawn yesterday...hardly see his tracks..heeeeyaaaa.

BTW..my dome temp said 80F when I put the meat in...Great smoke temperature.
Cheers...C~W

  • Well, it was worth posting twice..Has anyone else noted that it hangs for a minute after hitting the send button and you don't know if it kicked in or not..so you hit it again? Result, double post??

    Nature Boy, I doo dah..
    I love standing in the wind inhaling that fragrance..Must be my old smoking habit addiction..long kicked. I figure 3 packs a day at 2 bucks a pack saved makes a BGE pretty dang cheap and healthier too.

    C~W, Double posts? I think I set the record awhile back with four. Getting the lovely white stuff here also. Knowing it won't last makes it more bearible. Homeade rub on butt?

  • C~W,[p]Maybe your words are twice as important? Surely twice as powerful? Now don't spoil it by asking twice as important as what, or twice as powerful as whom? Just savor the moment.[p]Anthony

    Painter, if I remember rightly, I rubbed this one down with Char-Crust Garlic and peppercorn prior to freezing..then the additional peppercorn and Jalepeno Mustard to give it light bite in taste later on.
    Hope it works out...I made one with Walkerswood Jamacian Jerk one time..I still remember it. Had big bite but drew you back for more, like jerky does.
    I thank George in Colorado for that one...!!

    Char-Woody,[p]Sounds like a good cook. However, temps here in the Orlando, Florida area are like 80 max today, 55 or so tonight. This weekend was about 85 or 90 and got in fish, venison, lamb and filets on the BGE.[p]Like the man said.... "life is goooood"[p]Cajun
