In a couple weeks I'm cooking for a block party so I have to do lots of cooking and part of the cook is pulled pork so I'm planning on hanging 4 butts in my jimmy cooker which is a close to a WSM 18" size.
My plan "If" this works is to hang the butts start to finish on the hooks with no pulling and foiling like you do in the PBC. It'll go pretty high heat....Today I think i lit to much charcoal for just 1 butt, the cooker skyrocket up fast and is hanging at 425*. I'll try to settle it in about 350*
This burn will be doing a side to side, the basket is loaded up with KBB and large apple chunks from a local orchard.
The butt I'm trying to support it with multiple hooks with 1 laddered. If that doesn't work i'll ladder more on the real cook doing all 4. There's no chance in falling in the fire because i have a grate with my SS holy diffuser on it... (safety net)
I went ahead and trimmed off most of the fat cap to get more bark....figured there is no fat cap up or down so why have much of one.
Thanks for checking it out. I'll do updated pics later in the day. It should be a fast cook with the temps this thing is doing.
No need for open vents
