Got 2 Butts from my butcher. Not the usual bone in Boston Butt as they had a bone in each end. However they looked good when I trimmed off the fat. Put them on the Egg around 12AM

Got up at 6:30 and both were ready to be rapped. I add Stubbs pork marinade to them as I wrap in foil-good stuff. Unfortunately I forgot to take a pre wrap pic. I will try to do better as I go along. Right now I am trying to bring the temp down in the Egg. It's at 280 and I want 260 so I have the tip vent closed
 
So this is a live cook George? I will be watching, I put 2 butts on at 6:15 this morning I'm pre smoking to have ready for the Wounded Vets lunch serve on Thursday with Diesel Dave who is doing briskets and chicken I believe.
 
It is the least I can do, I was lucky the draft was stopped just before I was to go. Lost quite a few friends who weren't so lucky. 2 weeks ago the wife and I were at Walleye for Warriors again, it is quite a big deal all put on by and for Vets. http://www.walleyesforwarriors.com/ The Vets are taken out on Saginaw Bay for a few hours of walleye fishing. After serving as first mate on a friends boat, we had a 90+ yr old Vet, and 2 other 70+ yr old Vets along with the captian who is a Vet. The wife and I helped for the usual 4 + hrs of filleting (1200+ walleye this year) so each Vet could take home clean walleye fillets after having a fantastic day fishing for walleye and a full spread meal all served by a local Casino as a Thanks for serving our Country. All free for the vets. Lots of Volunteers help pull this off each year.
Anyway, lets turn this into a double live cook if you don't mind George. 1.5 hrs in I'm running at 280 on my UDS. Coated with garlic canola oil and my dry rub.

 
I will keep updating as I can, pretty soon I have some running around to do with a neighbor and then mount his custom made neon sign in his living room. And hiding the wires in the wall.
2.5 hrs in
 
Butts resting. Fatties on. Time to start the beans. I always do a double recipe which calls for 4 cans of Great Northern Beans- I do 6, and 8 slices of thick cut bacon- normally I do 10. Today was 11


Bacon starting to get ready
Fatties done

Back to the beans. A yellow pepper and a Vadalia Onion with the bacon carmalizing

The other players garlic and Burbon

Beans ready to go on the Egg @ 12:30


These will be on for 4 hrs. Kitchen cleaned up. Will pull pork after a rest- mine. More to come later. Sorry I have not done this in real time but I have been busy
