I was going to smoke an 8 lb pork butt this weekend, but because of the storms I wound up doing chicken instead. The weather was clear and the butt was prepped, so I figured I'd try my first overnighter.
Here she is, trimmed and rubbed, ready to go on.
Fired up the WSM minion style, with a full ring and 15 lit coals, along with 3 apple chunks about 8:30PM. Also prepped my first fatty, stuffing it with shrooms and cheese, and rubbing it a little with the butt rub.
About 10:30 or so, the fatty measured 165 degrees, so I pulled it, here is what it looked like. It tasted great!
Went to bed about 11:00PM, with the WSM pluggin along at 245 degrees. I awoke at 5:30am to discover that it had rained a bit in the wee hours of the morning (so called cause that is when I get up to wee) and checked the temps. The WSMwas running about 210 degrees. I opened the access door and gave her a stir, still plenty of coals, but I threw a few on for good measure. The butt temp was 154 degrees.
Went back out to check the butt at 7:00am and temps were right around 180, I foiled with a little apple juice and put her back on for another hour. Pulled the butt about 8:00 and stuck it in a cooler till 1:00PM. She was still nice and hot, here it was, ready for pulling -
and pulled.
Thanks for looking.
