overnight pork butt!

big_jake · Posted: Jun 01 2008 Post subject: overnight pork butt!

aight guys heres the run down do far:

butt/cooking time/smoker:
7.5 bone in pork butt
used the traeger 075 texas elite
11.5 hours on the smoker fat side up
took it off @ an internal temp of 200
now mop,no foil
its now resting in foil for one hour

prep:
injection
mustard
rub
sat in the fridge overnight,i then took it out and rubbed again

here's is a pic of the finished product.i KNOW its tender because:
1.when i pulled the thermo out it was like it was gliding through semi-melted butter.
2.when i flipped it to take the pic it almost fell apart!

ill post pics as well after i pull.

aight yall here is the finished product.i brought the knife out but didnt end up using it.i just "pulled" the pork.
oh and i used the kfc cole slaw recipe.which didnt taste like kfc at all.it was much better!(not over sweet and drown in sauce)
this is the best pork butt i have made so far.and the best part was i set the traeger and went to sleep last night!

I think many of us use the site as a secret weapon, although I do point it out to the folks who want to go beyond the $39 smoker, boiled ribs, or store bought sauce.

That's Great. Especially about setting the traeger and going to bed. I sleep in 45 min intervals when I smoke over night. Sad

The smoke ring on that is nice and deep in the meat and pan of pulled pork looks very tender. Nice work!

Nice work! That's some gorgeous pig! At what temperature did set your Traeger's thermostat?
