couple butts on the UDS

Barbarian · Jun 28, 2009

Smoked a couple butts yesterday. Boy were they pesky, I guess they liked the smoker cause one took 10 hours and the other wanted to stay on another hour before getting up to temp. Most of the time I do two butts on the drum they want off after 8 or 9 hours. Oh well, no matter they turned out gooooood!!!!

Added a little Tennessee Red for the sammiches and topped with Blues Hog. I love my wife's tater salad to.

Looks good Bro! What temps do you run in the drum to get your butts off in 9 hours or so?

Barbarian · Jun 28, 2009

Those two were around 9lbs each bone-in
I cooked them at 250 (which is where this drum likes to sit) and that is about where I cook them most of the time. I guess the drum or the butts just didn't want to cook as fast this time, lol.

They were just giving you more time to drink beer?

Barbarian · Jun 28, 2009

Hey millsy, shhhhhh my wife might hear ya, lol.

Looks great! I keep reading about Blue's Hog, but have never tried it. Is it made by a brethren? Just curious. I'd love to be able to buy something that that locally, it's so damn expensive to ship those kinds of things.

Some times I rest the meat to long,just another beer mod.
I think my wife is catching on but likes my que to much to say anything.

How big were those butts? Look like about 8 pounders?

I usually do mine at 225, and I've yet to pull any in less than 12 hours. I try to pull between 195-200, then wrap and let them rest for an hour. What does 250 do to the tenderness?

Yummy!!!
Looking good Barbarian!

Looks good! Who dose not like a good butt?

Barbarian · Jun 29, 2009

Otis, they were about 9lbs each and 250 does not hurt the tenderness or the juicyness. I pulled at 195 after feeling the bone was nice and loose. They pulled/shredded just fine.

Next time I am gonna do an overnight cook. I never tried that with my first drum, I could not trust the temps. But this one likes to sit at 250 for hours. So instead of starting at 6am and finishing at 10pm, I am gonna start at 9pm and finish around noon. By starting I mean the fire and the butt foreplay, by finishing I mean having the butt pulled and ready to eat.

I get it from the KC bbq store, they have very reasonable rates. I order by the gallon and have one on my refrigerator door at all times.
