First pork butt cook in pics

Eggingaround · January 2015

I have my first pork butt on the Egg. 2 pcs for a total of 18 lbs. I cleaned the Egg out completely and loaded it up with RO, pecan and apple chunks with hickory chips throughout the lump.

I got up early with my trusty Egg partner and got the it fired up.

while the Egg was settling in I prepped the pork. I used some good Ole yellow mustard with homemade rub.

got the Egg dialed in at 250 dome temp and put the pork on with a Maverick in 1 butt, a plate setter with drip pan.

closed the lid feeling confident I left the supervision of the Egg in good hands!

The pork is at 185 and probing very nicely. Another hour or so I'm guessing. No rush the game just started. Pics coming soon. The backyard smells amazing.

I love that smell. Always fun when someone shows up and says, "it smells like a BBQ cook off out there!"

I texted my neighbor a few houses down, "stick your head out your backdoor and smell the goodness" His response "wow, bring me a plate". Plate of pork delivered.
