With my first smoke in the books (wings & moink balls), today 4/1/2020 I attempted my first Pork Butt.

- Bone-in Pork Butt (aprx 6lbs)
- Used 4 chunks of applewood
- Plowboy Yardbird Rub
- Mixture of apple juice & water in water pan
- Smoked fat side up (is that what y'all suggest?)
- Smoked at around 250 for around 9 hours

I didn't wrap it until it was done, then let it sit for about 30-45 minutes to keep in the moisture, probably could've let it cool for a little longer but was to eager to try it out! It turned out SOOO good. I consider it a success for being new haha.

Appreciate all of the kind words on my first post, glad to be a new member of such a cool forum!

Pssst. This is a perfect post for QTalk, where you'll find more folks just waiting for cooks like this.

Glad you joined the family. Keep the Pr0n flowing.

Haha Im not sure about that, I still have a lot to learn but thank you! It turned out WAY better than I expected it to for my first time.

Jake, Welcome to the Brethren!!
I would say you Nailed It!!
It is always good when the first cook comes out great. There are a lot of Great People here and you will learn a bunch to help you. So, Keep the Smoke Rolling!!

Looks awesome! Love my WSM. One mod that I've done, which makes a world of difference is getting the Cajun Bandit door. Has been great. That's been the only thing I've done.
