Butt is on the Smoker AND its FRIDAY! Finished Pics....

Pulled the 8 pound butt out of the fridge at 5:30 this morning fired the chimney up with Kingsford and chunks of hickory and its off to the races.

.

Butt with the renowned Mr. Brown.

The last time I used my Maverick ET-7 it was posting crazy numbers. I thought I would give it a final try before trashing it. I put the meat on at 6am and at 6:30 it is reading 40/57 (dual probe). Seems like a huge delta.

I need to wash the beast it could use a good cleaning.

jeepdad, that Butt looks happy sitting on that big ole grate Very Happy

I gave mine a good scrubbing the other day, I started having some flake break a way on the inside and Mrs.K.A.M. said I had to loose the crunchies Laughing

I will look for your pics this evening when I get home. Have a great day Very Happy

Jeepdad,
The high pressure system and wind from the south must be the reason I'm smelling your Q up here by Ft. Meade. I'm doing a big cook for some buddies on Sunday and I wish I could get started now. Smile

k.a.m., same thing happened to me last night while smoking the ABTs. There were flakes falling on the food so I wiped out the inside for a temporary fix but will need to do the hard scrub after the brisket and ribs tomorrow.

OldSchoolWeberMan Ha! I hope your cook goes well. It is suppose to be a great weekend. What will you be smoking?

Two Boston Butts, one full backer briskie, four racks of St. Louis and two dozen ABTs. It's my show of solidarity to the guys doing Pork in the Park over in Salisbury. I couldn't justify the $250 entry as a pure rookie so I'm spending $75 to be the Grand Champion of my back yard. (I know the judges so I think it's a lock.)

crosschex....it is smelling good! Can't wait for opening day kickoff!

OldSchoolWeberMan Ha! That sounds like a great day smoking! Glad to hear you have a lock on the Grand Championship!

update:

Just checked the butt after six hours and spritzed with apple juice.

Lookin' good!

For six hours this thing has been dialed in!

Making roxy's mustard sauce. I don't put mustard on pulled pork but my friends do and they love it.

All the ingredients in the pan.

After 15 mins on the stove top. Man it smells good. I may sift the onions out and cut them up some more.

Mrs Jeepdad made a coffee cake this morning.

Butts looking good there JD..

Going to be some good eating at your place tonight..!!

As for the sauce.. leave the onion as is and just run it in the blender when your done.. I got a hand held boat motor that makes short work of any bits and pieces. I used it yesterday on my apple BBQ sauce with great results.

Roxy,
I'll be whipping up a batch of your amazing mustard sauce for my swinefest on Sunday. I need to buy me one of those stick blenders but I usually make a big pot's worth and chuck it into my counter top blender and hit the HI button. Sometimes my Margaritas come with salt and mustard.

roxy..thanks, no surprise the mustard sauce was a hit! A boat motor eh?

skeels01, thanks.

OldSchoolWeberMan, a mustard margarita, hmmm.

NCBBQFAN, thanks.

Mrs. K.A.M., thanks much, hope all is well.

k.a.m., it is good coffee cake. I'll pass on the comments to th chef.

Reggae Q, Funny, i always think the best during the off season...then the season starts....Go Skins!

Canadian Bacon, Thanks its been a good day.

The pulled pork turned out great. The crowd loved it. I didn't get a chance to take many pics the chow was gone.

A bunch of granny smith apples and spices and store bought pie crust.

Apples peeled and cored.

rolled in the spices (sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg).

A pie crust cut into four pieces then wrapped around the apple. Does not have to cover the entire apple.

Placed in a pan for the smoker.

on the smoker.

after an hour and they are done (250-300).

The apples were ok but need something. Perhaps brown sugar or maybe turn them upside down and fill the hole with nuts, raisins and brown sugar. Cool idea but needs work. If you guys give it a go let me know what you come up with. All in all a great day to smoke.

jeepdad, Man Oh Man thats a bowl full of goodness Very Happy

great color and some nice bark going on and looks moist. And just when I thought you would have a hard time topping your apples you come up with these tasty looking ones Very Happy

Nicely done my man Smile

Sunday with the Turkey Mrs. K.A.M. and I are going to try our hand at your apple recipe, I think the grandkids will love them. And I used simple green in my WSM and let it soak and the flakes came right out, if you want to give it a try.

Great looking butt jeepdad. The apples look good too.

It doesn't get much better than pulled pork and dessert!
