Franklin UFC Pork Butt

Muscrat · Mar 16, 2013

When the UFC cranks up so does the smoker!
I've watched the Franklin pulled pork video at least 5 times and decided to give it a try. I've done several butts so its not completely Chinese. I'm gonna try to do it around 300° so we'll see what happens. The wind here today is pretty high so keeping it at 250-275 will be a chore so 300 it will be, hopefully.

Looking forward to seeing this one through...

Muscrat · Mar 16, 2013

Yeah I'm excited. I couldn't decide whether to cook it on the UDS or the big cooker. Here's a pic of the cooker.

He built it. IMHO it is nicer than the j3 and cheaper.

Muscrat · Mar 16, 2013

Thanks for the compliments. It's built like a J-5 model.

At 4 hrs I foiled the butt. It swole up like a horny toad!! Never seen that!

I also decided to do the Franklin rib cook. One rack of spares and one rack of baby backs.

The butt came off at 7hrs. It was tender and felt good. Temp was 199. Its resting now while the ribs finish up.
Pics will come shortly!!

Looks great , Sweet smoker

Muscrat · Mar 16, 2013

Ok I'm an idiot. The pork butt might not have been a butt. The packing said it was but it didn't have a blade in it. There was an leg bone or something. Oh well! It still turned out pretty good.

The ribs came out pretty good. The flavor that came out wasn't bad it just isn't as good as PLOYBOYS!!!!!

Can we see a closer up shot of the front of your pit? Looks like it has wooden handles.....or is that the bourbon clouding my eyes during the Louisville game???

Yeah they are baseball bats. I thought it was cool and something different!

Ribs are def falling off the bone! Love the cooker too.

Muscrat · Mar 18, 2013

Thanks everybody on the compliments on the food and the cooker. It was Good and I just finished off the ribs sitting here watching Jerry Springer. The left over pork I'm gonna freeze and use for some tamales next week.

You need to start building and selling that cooker.
