Thanks. I hung it in The Pit Barrel Cooker. I really didn't know when to pull it other than I wanted it buttery soft. I hung until around 175 internal and then pulled it to lay it on the grate. I was afraid it was going to fall on the coals. I cut through the skin about every inch to get rub to the meat (and fat) underneath. It was real tender around 190, so I put some sauce on it. I burned the sauce a little when the smoker heated up between pulling it, saucing it, turning it to sauce the other side etc. It didn't burn too bad but I wanted a little better color on the bark.
I learned though and have another shot at it. Probably soon.

Knows what a fatty is.
I make a lot of bacon but never did a whole slab. After I saw this I believe it's definitely in the near future. Keep us posted on your next one......yummy!

Thanks. I actually expected it to sort of taste like bacon. It wound up tasting like a really savory, really rich rib. That may be because I basically cooked it like I do my ribs...without a wrap and no brown sugar though.
Come to think of it, a wrap with brown sugar and hot chili paste would probably be great!
