Chipotle Dr Pepper Boston Butt- well fark

[16Adams]

Could not locate a cane sugar DP. However did have Mexican Coke, it's made with cane sugar. This is the last of my Ozark Oak. A proper cook for a great product.

 

[16Adams]

I don't have to worry about running out of Ozark Oak anymore. It's gone. Time to move on.

A really good bark. Added the real Coke to the bottom of the pan and covered the Shoulder with chipotle salsa. Check it again in a few hours. Primo running 300, going to dial it back 25

Now, that is a butt that grabs my attention. I remember being told that Dr. Pepper contains prune juice. Coke plus a smidgen of prune juice might approximate DP, no?

I've never done anything like this... but I really like where this is going!

 

[Roguejim]

Do you drain off any of the liquid before the cook is over?

 

[16Adams]

No sir. The liquid never covers much, maybe 25% at most. Fat cap is down the entire time. Start with real sugar cola. As that is evaporating/condensing- then add broth to keep the liquid level st 25%- at that point the fat is rendering (5-6 hours) and let it ride. Baste often or foil it up till the bone wiggles free estimate of 8-10 hours- pigs vary. Save the juices to mix some back in when you pull and store. Remaining juices we freeze and drop into soups-stews beans etc.

looks amazing and nice twist on the same ole PP.. Do you add the peppers and pop when you get the bark color you desire?

 

[16Adams]

I've actually done this "wife's hairdresser recipe " several ways. This time I seasoned really well and smoked about 2 hours before adding the soda. Guessing two hours later added some broth to keep liquid at or near 25% as my Primo was running a tad warmer than usual. I need a new gasket-bad. Anyway I try to do this 240-275 and she was wanting to run 295-315. We are watching Miami Vice reruns on Hulu and I didn't fight the temp. Let her run.

That's what I was thinking. Nice! :hungry:

3.5 quart bags. The end.

I have cooked the Chipotle in Adobo/Dr. P PB inspired by Adams in the past and have to say it does not suck. I have 2 cans of Chipotle in Adobo sauce sitting in the pantry, might be time to get another Butt.

A fine looking cook, fitting for your last bag of Ozark Oak.
