Weekend Butt

edited June 2017 in EggHead Forum
I have had my LBGE for several years and have made many many things.  I am one of the only people in my family who love pulled pork so I have never made a pork butt until this weekend- my first!!

It started because a german friend of ours gifted us a recipe for german sauerkraut  (with a jar of bavarian style kraut and a little bag of 10 juniper berries to get us started)  and said we should eat it with smoked pork.  I made the kraut yesterday (she said it was better heated up the second day) and (after reading on this board) bought a pair of boneless butts at Costco.



 I seasoned them with my good friends rub (Buster's Lowcountry Rub) but I didn't have enough.  I called Buster and he suggested I add Zaterainnes to it.  I had Old Bay and used that instead.  I also used a stone ground mustard (it was all I had).



 I used Cherry wood (I didn't have Hickory) and put the Butt on last night around 10 PM.  


This morning at about 9 AM I added a bit more water to the water pan.



It is now 1:30 PM and it is at 195.  I plan to pull it at a bit above 200 (?) and then Foil, Towel, Cooler.  I will serve it on white bread hamburger roles, and choices of sauce- carolina vinegar and the kraut.  I am thinking I won't sauce it before serving it but I haven't quite decided that...
