Picked up a small 4 lb butt, sliced it and marinated for 24 hrs.

Got the kids help make a rub of kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and Hungarian paprika.

Then set up the 18.5 kettle indirect with RO lump and pecan and cherry for smoke. Don't know what temp just went Bluedawg style(WFO).

While that was happening I made some homemade Pico. 6 Roma tomatoes, 1 red onion, some diced japs, salt&pepper, cilantro, and a splash of agave.

Then just let everything get happy for while, didnt keep track of time, just played with kids and checked for color on the pork.

Once it was done, I chopped the pork up.

The marinade was very, very good and the Pico was outstanding. Will be doing this again. Gonna have some good lunch tomorrow too. Thanks for looking!
 
Those look great! Nice job and tell your helpers that they did great!
 
There's a fly on the pork in the first picture...it's not safe to eat!

Better let me dispose of it for you.
 
good looking food. ive never saw that marinate before

It was the first time I've used it. There is several different flavored that brand makes, I will be trying the others in the near future.




Thanks everyone, I always try to include my twins on most of cooks. My son is into it more than my daughter. She likes prepping but not cooking.
 
Your tacos look fantastic! Love seeing kids helping out. Nice job! :clap2:
 
great looking tacos, extra point for getting the munchkins involved!!!!
