I like Big Firecracker Butts - Happy 4th!

SmokerTim · 07-02-2011, 10:48 AM

Didn't get started at the crack of dawn, but a bit earlier than planned, which is good - I've got 20 pounds of Pork Butt to get smoked today!

I'll pop up some fresh pron here every so often.

Here they are a 7:30 when I got them on.
So looking forward to some good ole pulled pork!

And here's a look at 8:30 - 1 hour in.

SmokerTim · 07-02-2011, 12:07 PM

Two hours in, the temps are calming down to where I want them.
Bark is starting to form up nicely.

Looking good!

Very nice. Looks like a great start to the weekend.

SteerCrazy · 07-02-2011, 12:34 PM

those are some nice lookin butts

ha-ben-arrow · 07-02-2011, 12:38 PM

looking great, I bet the neighbors are salivating already.

SmokerTim · 07-02-2011, 12:41 PM

Thanks guys!

I decided to double check the temps with my super-accurate, lightning-fast YELLOW Thermapen - I wasn't believing the probe temps. Well, they are still a bit further along than I expected, but are about 10* lower than the probes are reporting. Always a good idea to check a few locations in those big butts.

Here they are after 3 hours...

Great looking butts. Smoking butts must be in the air in Cali, I got 30# in the smoker as well. Mine are about 18 hours in right now. just about ready to come off

Nice! Sounds good Chad. And I thought 20 was a lot.

Man, is it getting hot out there!
Love this new house though - I can see my smoker from the kitchen so don't have to babysit as much as I used to. It is a LOT nicer in the house right now, that's for sure!

Here's mine after 4 hours.

SmokerTim · 07-02-2011, 02:47 PM

Pic after 5 hours.
Barking up well.

Looks and smells real good!

syndicate559 · 07-02-2011, 02:51 PM

Yep, it's definitely Pulled Pork Saturday here in the Golden State. I got 15 # going as well :)

SmokerTim · 07-02-2011, 04:00 PM

Enjoy Eddie. Hope it's not too darn hot where you are. I just checked here - 95* in the shade.

Here are the butts after 6 hours...

RevZiLLa · 07-02-2011, 04:08 PM

Those butts are HOTTT

SmokerTim · 07-02-2011, 06:11 PM
