Just got my platesetter. Took 3 weeks for the dealer to get it in.

  • Just my opinion here.

    Slather with cheap yellow mustard and go heavy on your favorite rub.

    Internal temp from 195 to 210. I pull mine at 205.

    Make sure the egg is stable dome temp at 250.

    Make sure to calibrate thermometer in boiling water.

    1.5-2 hours cook time per pound.

    Good luck!!!!! and remember to take lots of pics!!

    Sorry to jump in here but I'm going to do my first one too. Do you sprinkle the rub over the mustard ?
  • If you use mustard yes. You can just use the rub directly to the butt. I did three butts this past weekend one with mustard and two with out, not much difference. I do use a mustard slather on briskets and ribs but the butt seems to hold the rub better. Either way is fine. I really didn't have a preferance, I just wanted to try the mustard on a butt. :)
