Per cowgirl I rubbed the butt with..,

....bacon grease. A smallish 7# Boston Butt that was first seasoned with Sucklebusters Steak rub. I allowed that to sit a while, then rubbed the butt with bacon grease. Really shiny and pretty. I then hit a second layer of rub using John Henry Pecan rub. First rub has nearly zero sugar. JH rub sugar is listed first.
Cowboy lump lit with a Weber cube and a beer can total of a blend of smoking chunks hickory-mesquite and pecan.

Smoke is on heading to 250-275- give or take.

That sounds good. Bacon grease was the only oil my willowy great grandmother cooked with and she lived to be 94.

That pecan rub sounds real good too. Found a nearby grill specialty shop that carries it, so that went on the shopping list. Thanks for sharing.

Love that pecan rub..... John Henrys Cherry Chipotle is awesome on Ribs also.

16Adams · Oct 22, 2016

Well I went diving into the rub closet and no John Henry cherry. I'm trying to work my way through an overstock situation

). But I will try it. Eventually. Here's the butt at 1:45. Dome in the PrimoXL settled in at 260 or so.

I'm using split box with deflector plates. Elevated rack is opposite the coals. I just rotated the butt 180*

Looking good so far. If cowgirl suggests bacon grease you can bet I'll be trying it.

I think Im going to go ahead and call this the trophy shot.

T.Mac · Oct 22, 2016

Those last two shots look awesome. :thumb:

Awesome looking cook.

I just save some bacon grease today and was wondering about doing that. Now I will do.

I need new glasses or my mind has been influenced by political commentary. I first read this post and thought it was true pron...rubbing cowgirls butt with bacon grease seemed rather unlikely....but that is how I thought this thread started....sleep deprivation may have played a part as well.

Great looking butt. Thanks for sharing your cook.
