Cooked 2 butts Friday just to compare recipes. One was following Chris Lilly's injection and rub recipe and the other using the "Mr Brown" recipe. Although I wanted to compare the two I also wanted to pay particular attention to drum temp and make sure I pulled them off at the right time.
Injected and rubbed Thursday afternoon and put them on the UDS at about 9:00 am Friday morning. After dealing with the wind a little I did manage to maintain about 228° during the cook but really had to babysit the smoker until the wind died down. Cooked for about 15 hrs to an internal temp of 196°, foiled and rested in the cooler for 4+ hrs.
Both are moist and tasty with good bark and a decent smoke ring. Mr. Brown is a bit spicier due to all the black pepper. The family seems to like the Chris Lilly recipe a little better but not by much.
We enjoyed sandwiches and BBQ nachos for lunch (sorry no pron) and made a BBQ pizza tonight with pulled pork, grilled red onion and mozzarella cheese. Cooked it in the oven then put it on the gas grill with a chunk of hickory to brown up the crust a bit.
Have some left so if your near by please stop by for BBQ pizza and a cold beer!
