Seems like forever since I've lit the smoker or been here on the forum. The end of summer was very busy with way too many things going on - oh well. It's starting to slow down finally. Mrs. Campdude had some minor foot surgery yesterday, so I figured I'd Toss some meat on the Bandera while taking care of her. I pulled a 5# pork butt out of the freezer and mixed some Simply Marvelous rubs with some ground smoked chilis. Rubbed the butt all over and put it in at about 250*. I let it climb slowly over the next hour or so to almost 300*. I mixed some cherry apple juice concentrate with a bit more ground chili to use for mopping. At 265* I panned it with the last of the mop juice and covered with foil. I just pulled it at 207*. I want to rip into it now, but will let it rest while the rest of dinner gets ready. Here's the starting pron. Will post the finished pron in a while.
