I have a small patio grill that works really well for chicken quarters, burgers, etc. It is not very large, but very thick steel so holds the temperature well.

When I am feeling lazy, I use it to smoke ribs and even a pork butt at times. I had a pork butt in the freezer so decided to cook one up for a variety of meals through the week. First step, prep the fire. I put the coals in the far corner near the damper and add a few small pieces of oak every once in a while.

I rubbed the pork with a bit of Whataburger mustard and Luckenbach rub (hence, the Texas Butt).

The grill held temp fine for 6 or so hours, then I wrapped it and finished off in the oven.

Day Two:

Hatch Chile season so day two would be carnitas with hatch chile slasa verde.

I boiled some tomatillas, onion, garlic and charred hatch chiles. Put those in a blender with some lime juice, cilantro and salt.

Next, got some of the left over pulled pork. Mixed in some OJ, cumin and chile powder.

Spread on a pan and broiled until crispy.

Savagely Salivating in South Florida! Well done John!
 
Looks great. I love pork butts for that reason. So much food, so little money, and so many delicious options!

Well played!
 
Great way to get many meals out of it, it all looks tasty!
