You may remember my post on Tuesday about grabbing some $0.99 pork shoulder for a smoke this weekend. Well, they're trimmed, rubbed, and ready to put on the grill in a few hours.
It's 43 degrees right now and the winds from the nor'easter that bypassed us earlier this week are are gone. We'll see how my fire runs through midnight before deciding if I'm going to finish the thing overnight in the oven. Looking for a serve time of around 4:00 pm tomorrow. Expecting a bunch of sides as well as other proteins (smoked sausage, MOINK balls), so my sh!t is not devoured. The package weighed 14.5 lbs and ended up trimming 2-3 lbs of fat off 'em.
PRON!!

About an hour late. Workin' 250. Have my assistance for the next hour or so. gotta remember, I'm workin' in the dark. Prety damn bright LED in the lid.

Keep up the good work! I always do big butts overnight. Easier to keep em warm a few hours than to finish a cook in the middle of the night. Let us know....
 
Allright, I'm done for awhile. One hour and Temp is ok at lid level. We will see if it goes up. The last pic is Popdaddy's Hit Me Fred Sauce. We'll see how it tastes as it settles. A little sharp on vinegar right now. Had to cut by a 1/3. Translation plus the reduction in batch size was a b!tch. I hear a bourbon calling my name.

Remind me in the spring. Clean up your wood handles and put a little oil on'em.

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got
Make Me so horney
Ooh, rump of smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my benz
Well use me use me cuz you aint that average groupy

I've seen them dancin'
To hell with romancin'
She's Sweat,Wet, got it goin like a turbo vette

I'm tired of magazines
Saying flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back

So Fellas (yeah) Fellas(yeah)
Has your girlfriend got the butt (hell yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt
Baby got back

3:30 Sunday morning. On the fire for about 8 hours and we're done smoking. Wrapped in foil and finishing in the oven on low.

I'm doing tha butt tomorrow. Already too late this time but should I be trimming that top layer of fat off i.e. on the left in the photo. I usually don't but am no expert just looking for tips and tricks for better Q

Some like that fat cap. Some dont. Some people around here will say you don't know "jack" if you cut it off. Fine for them. But it really doesn't add anything to the flavor, moistness, or tenderness. Removing it gives a nice area for rub and bark, and for the smoke to add some magic. I typically trim all the fat that is easy to get to.

Yes, this is my opinion (as if you didnt know that already).:smile:
 
Nice Butts! We just got some out of the freezer last week from our last smoke. Only one package left (~1 1/2#)
