Gaza the Instructor Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 It all started in the pub about 4 weeks ago. My bro was 55 last Saturday. Music ,lights, a band booze and food. Ok should only be 10 people, in honesty there were a few more!!! What food?? Pulled Pork and Sausages and burgers on the grill. Well can we talk about Pork Butts?? Costcos sell them about 2kg a piece boned and trimmed £8. So bought 4 and at 6 on Saturday morning lit the WSM, minion method 9kg head beads, water pan full and after 25 mins added 4 butts in deep foil trays and 3 fist sized oak chunks. Great smoking under a canopy rain falling adjusted vents for 235f and meat probes in two of the butts. 6 hours later at 162f the dreaded stall.so about 1.30 Foiled the tops of trays as tight as poss. Back in WSM, fluild 1/2 inch deep in trays so tipped a little poured over some apple juice and Honey before I foiled my rub which I had not mentioned was smelling great and the bark was good. 205f reached on both probes about 5.30. So out and rested for 45 mins. Bear clawed and packed into 2 new trays and foiled with a sprinkle of rub, back into a warm WSM (150f). Served with warmed wraps BBQ sauce and all the trimmings. Got to admit the best yet moist, smokey, spicy and hot!!! I think cooking in the trays helped a lot and even added to the flavour because of juice retained. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
