First Butt on the UDS... and it wasn't Mine

[Goldenfinger]

Thursday was an early, 5 o'clock kinda morning as we decided to cook our first Butt on our shiny new UDS for my father's birthday supper. I can only take credit for the homemade rub, and preparation... my girlfriend actually monitored the all day cook (10.5 hrs) while I went to work...

Started with an 8.5# Butt from the local packer.

Rubbed it down, re-bagged it and back into the fridge till morning.

5:00am with a wicked thunderstorm going on... neighbors off to work and I'm firing-up the UDS...

Out of the fridge and into the smoke...

Pulled it at about 190F, probe tender... "like a knife in butter."

Again, since I spent all day at work... all credit goes to my GF, she did a great job and didn't panic when the Butt hit the "Stall" during cooking. :wink:

Awesome cook! You got a good woman too! I love knowing I can trust my wife running my UDS. I hand her the maverick and say if the temp moves you know what to do. Good job!

Not as of yet... a little worried that the request may come in for a 2nd UDS... in pink... with some bedazzles maybe..? :laugh:

On the bright side... it's still a 2nd UDS I wouldn't need to ask for...
