First kettle Boston butt

[Gettinit]

Smoked my first ever butt. A little stressful but well worth it. Used Trader Joe's briquettes. Stayed around the 235° mark most of the cook. No foil. 1/2 hour rest.

It tastes amazing. A little too much smoke I think. I like the smokey flavor and do not use dip normally because you cannot taste the flavor of the meat. The sauce may be good with this batch.

Looks good, nice cook overall. Kettles require smaller chunks and a little less wood to get a good smoke flavor

The way that boned pulled out tells me it was very tender and juicy. Great job :thumb:

Lots of good things learned from this cook.

Great looking butt. I use my Kettles for smaller cooks all the time, including doing a single pork butt. I tend to cruise hotter at 300-325 on my long cooks. I have noticed though that on the kettle you will get a smokier flavor so I use smaller piece of wood.
