Double Butt - first 2009 pork butt - PRON

Was able to get 14 pounds of butt and get them on the smoker yesterday. First smoke of 2009 for me.

Full story and more pics on the blog: http://timcraig.blogspot.com/

But here's some pron for the brethren.

Two butts with Bad Byron's Butt Rub:



Here they are after about 4 hours:



I was cooking at a little higher temps than "normal" - about 250-270.
Here they are at 5 hours:



Here's the meat from the bigger of the two.



And from the other - both nice and moist!



Today I will be vacuum packing up lots of little bundles of joy for future lunches! :-D

Well, I've only done butts twice, and only with this rub - so I don't have a lot of experience to judge by!! But I like it. Everyone else (OK, so that's only about 8 people...) that as had my pulled pork has liked it.

But I would love to try some others. If anyone has suggestions I'll take them.
