Got a 9 lb. prok butt out of the freezer and let it thaw...

Mustard slather....

Rubbed down with McCormick's Sweet 'n Smoky...

after about 6 hours...

Just off of the grate after 10 hours...between 200-250 most of the cook..had to fight some wind issues and some ash build up in the CG Trio..

after an hour rest...let the pulling begin

second view...

Money shot....sauce is Roxy's Carolina, with some mods...

All in all, I think it was a great cook. Never did one before and I think once I get used to some more fire management, I will be golden.

What say ye?

That looks great bigpaguy. I love doing butts. Great color on it too.

I need to try that McCormick's Sweet 'n Smoky sometime. How did you like it?

Beertooth,

I liked it, but more importantly, my darling wife liked it. She is JUST getting to where she will try spicy foods, and I didnt want to scare her off by loading it up with too much heat...so the Sweet n Smoky worked great. Of course, since it was my cook, I MIGHT be just a little bit biased... Smile

Looks like you hit it right, the only thing about nailing it the first time is your expectations to do it better,and it's hard to beat great..

Dang.. sitting here at work, "listening" to a conference call (yeah, right...) killing time, and starving for lunch. So I come to the ring - if I thought I was starving before, this post didn't help any at all. Looks awesome. I think I'm headed for a Q place for lunch. Won't be as good as this looks though!
