Threw another rack on the smoker, mid-week because that the new normal!
This time i went simple--6 hours of straight smoke at 250*. No braise, no spray, just continuous rolling smoke until the last half hour for a quick mop with sauce to caramelize. Smoke ring was strong, flavor was intense, meat was tender and succulent still and texture had a good bite but still could wiggle a bone free if you hate eating with your fingers (wife 🙄 ).

Nice work! Nothing like a mid week non essential pork butt smoke.
i've been making my own in a "larger" container - so it is around.
tried brisket magic, it is a bit salty for ribs/butt
I like the KC Cowton rubs - Squeal! The others are good too.

no water...just the fat dripping from the 9 pound pork butt!

i've used mike mills' magic dust rub formula for years...it's awesome!
we usually double it and put it in a large container and put that stuff on everything!
i met mike at the NYC BBQ festival probably something like 10+ years ago, and he said it's great on anything other than ice cream!

Package deal from HowtoBBQright. All are fantastic.
Ribs, I keep it simple with a 49/49 blend of Salt and Pepper, and a 1-2% sprinkle of garlic.
Cooking With Ry is a good YouTube Channel to follow too. He makes his own from time to time. There are a bunch of Aaron Franklin YouTube Videos on how he does brisket, ribs, etc. He keeps it simple too.

Thicc buttz time over here on the acres. Two butts, two rubs, 200% delicious!
I like to smoke mine elevated in a pan to catch the jus and then add some liquid later while i cover with foil. That delicious (defatted) mixture gets poured back into the shredded meat to keep it juicy otherwise pulled pork can quickly dry and get chalky in texture.
CORN, not flour tortillas people (i'll die on that hill)!

Next off the Island.
Spare ribs for tomorrow, the rub I had. Pictures to follow
I haven't used my pit barrel since last Fall but with the recent lack of meat at local supermarkets I grabbed some lamb and pork from costco and went for it. It came out perfect. THis was my first time with lamb and I got lucky I think. Only took an hour or so to hit medium rare. I kept the smoker around 220-230.
Two days later I had had the pork going great at 240 degrees but I got hung up and missed my pull-off temp. I ended up pulling it out around 145 degrees then a really quick sear on the grill before slicing. Still fantastic but totally missed the rare I was going for. Planning on picking up some ribs and maybe something else from costco over the weekend.
