butts came out great!!!

Former Member

hey guys... after all that concern my 2 small butts came out amazing, they smoked for about 6.5 hours at 225 with a 3 oz chunk of hickory( just enough). i foiled them for about the last hour or so, they were so tender i pulled them with 2 forks and then by hand. i noticed the dark and white meat and some parts were a little more moist then others, but overall very good. i have them in tin foil now, how would you suggest i reheat the pulled pork for sandwhiches when my guests arrive? again thank you folks for all your help. sfent

their names are Mr. Brown and Mrs. White. Butts indeed have two different textures within them and you did good to notice.

I use some of that apple juice/butt mop in the 101 article. Gives it some additional flavor and moisture. If you're adding moisture, keep in mind you are adding flavor if you want to. Try some different things, just a little apple juice, nothing else. Water works, but isn't one of my favorites. A good mop does well.

One way to warm it. Put it in an oven, double wrapped in foil, put a little apple juice in with it. Take it out, put this in a ice chest and it will stay warm for a few hours for sure, probably 2. If you do it on a grill, try not to let it "cook" so don't take it over 160 if you can help it or it'll dry out and then you'll have to impress your friends with your butt jerky, cause it'll all be overcooked and dried.
