Get Together Port Butt
Just yesterday I smoked some lamb, and today I’m starting a pork butt for a get-together tomorrow night. 14.2 lbs at $2.29/lb from Costco. I’ll use 1.5 cups dust and 2.5 Tbsp salt, similar to last time.
2015: started the smoker with hickory chips at 225℉
2050: meat is on the smoker! And it’s actually set to 225℉ this time. Marked probe is on top.
0730: 169℉ and 173℉
0930: 171℉ and 180℉ - raising the temp to 275℉
1130: 190℉ and 205℉, almost there! I’ll trust the 190℉.
1300: 199℉ and 210℉, hopefully both are perfect, taking them off
