Did you inject those beautiful bottoms before the smoke?

no injection. i'm all about keepin it simple and i feel the ceramic mass of the egg and it's moisture retaining qualities negate the injection option...
at least that's my theory anyway

Nice looking bark! What rub did you use?

I'm curious as to why you chose to cook them with the fat cap on the side.

that's a good question... i wasn't sure if both butts would fit in there without hitting the dome on the sides, so i stood them up on edge in the middle where the dome is higher. so here's yet another option to the "fat cap up or down" discussion, fat cap on the side please!

Heheee. You're saying that now.... Wait till you try pumping your butt up with some sort of butt juice.

It's partially for moisture and partially to get some flavor down deep instead of just on the surface.

You are right about the moisture retention of foods cooked on ceramic cookers, but if you start with more, you can retain more.
