Sunny Sunday Shenanigans in the 505 - w/Pr0n!

[ShadowDriver]

Awoke before sunrise this morning. Needed a fleece and a cup of coffee... reminded me of smoking in East Cambs, UK. Last morning of the limited Balloon Festival (not Fiesta)... Winds South to North, away from Casa de Shadow. Boo.

Got the kettle fired up and humming along. Pork butt on to sweat for about an hour.

A-salted the butt and took it to 160-ish before the pan & wrap.

Took it to about 200F, then into a warm oven to rest.

Meanwhile, "Excuse me while I whip this out...." :shock:

Grabbed a GIANT 3lb Sausage Chub (can it really be called a "chub" at 3 lbs!?) at Costco. Peach and Red Chile running side-by-side.

Time to chop, season, and mix.

Fatty still at 154 for now... 10 more degrees and I'll pull for the rest. This should be epic (took me both hands to carefully put it on the kettle to smoke).

Lookin' good. I see a fatty TD submission in progress...

I was up in Wisconsin today. Saw my first 3lb. fatty. Like you said, you can't really call that a chub. Was tempted, but I didn't buy it.

Thangs are good in the 505 best I can tell.

She's not that photogenic, but she sure is delicious.

Peach (sliced L to R) over Red Chile (Sliced R to L):

Back to the salt mines in the AM. Y'all kick some tail this week.

Kind regards and thin blue from ABQ.

Just make sure you get enough pork in yer diet. :heh:

Pulled pork and fatties are 2 of my favorite things to cook/eat, and yours look fantastic. Fatty on a biscuit with pepper jelly is about as good as it gets, but fatty with just more fattty is a also great. Been loving the Albukirky rubs!

Nice cooking right there, Marc - hope you and yer crew had a fantastic weekend!

Looks great Marc, I'm a big fan of the Jimmy Dean All Natural sure would like to get a hold of a few of those chubs.

 

[Stingerhook]

Looking killer Marc.

 

[Shadowdog500]

I'll bet those balloons were up there trying to figure out where those wonderful aromas were coming from. You did an outstanding job on that pork.
