Sorry it's so freezing cold in The USA. Holding my end up here, I thawed out some ribs and a but I bought a while ago.

Next day I got them on a bit later than I wanted. 12 Midday.

Butt on the bottom deck with the probe.

Trying to run as hot and fast as I can. The butt is quite large. It's only at 300F with the wind about. Could be going for a long time.

Not opening the lid for 6 hours at least.

Cheers!
 
Did a "Harry Soo" on the butt. The WSM dropped to 250 with the IT at 160F Internal which is a no win situation unless you want to keep pumping charcoal into it and stay up. Beer number 2 tell me to get in the oven @ 300F.

The short ribs came off earlier and they are wrapped. Wholly cr@p they look good.

How did ya like the Oakridge?

-D

In my opinion the Oakridge rubs are top class. The Black Ops rub is probs the best rub I've used for this kind of thing. It gives a great bark while not being packed with sugar or salt. It gives you room to move if you want to add a hot sauce or bbq sauce to it. I just like the Black Ops with the coffee notes just the way it is with maybe a hot sauce on the side.

It's a similar experience for the Secret Weapon. There's a subtle balance again that you can tweak if you want extra sweetness or saltiness or sharpness. In the pulling of the butt I went for some added Secret Weapon and jizzed it with some Franklins vinegar sauce. Still has room for eating with more bbq sauce or whatever you want to add. I like it as it is.
 
So here's how the PP went:

Flip the bone.

Added some more Secret Weapon and a touch of Vinegar sauce after a tiny taste test.

Vac Packed the lot so I can SV it up to temp any time.

3.5 Kilo's of Pulled Pork in 500gram packs. That's pretty good.
