Twin butts in the TBS

[Radio]

Took the day off from the shop and cooking two bone in butts today. Got up early, started the chimney, then prepped the butts with my homemade rub that has a hint of dried, crushed Rosemary.
Got the ancient, but restored New Braunfels up to temp and put those piggy parts in the tbs

I'll be starting on making the potato salad about noonish. I will give one butt to my neighbor for cutting the steel and rebuilding the FB on my recently acquired NB Bandera. Sure wish I would have got it restored and re seasoned in time for this cook Hopefully I can make more progress on the restore today

Thanks BBBQ. foiled them in apple juice at the stall to finish them. Crappy cell phone pics make 'em look burnt. They needed to rest a bit, but it was so late when they were done that we dug in when they came out of the smoker.

Took about 12 1/2 hours to cook these big 'ol butts, but they were worth the wait:hungry:

Thanks. They tasted great

I had a heckuva time controlling temps as there were several rounds of hard rain throughout the day. I set up a patio umbrella in a stand to cover most of the smoker, but the wind and blowing rain made it a challenging cook. I think this fall I will build a lean to on the side of the workshop for some protection from the elements for both me and the smoker(s):mrgreen:

The Bandera I'm restoring is number 4, plus I have the CC and FB for another that will be a reverse flow project. How many smokers is too many?:mrgreen:
