Hi all!
Did my first butts on the Model 50 yesterday. Amazingly good. I had a cryo'd 16.79 lb two pack from Farmer John. I was in the mood for something different so I experimented with a much sweeter rub then I usually have done in the past:
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tbs Mollasses
4-5 oz maple syrup (amount will vary I like my wet rubs to be a thick paste)
1 tsp Cayenne pepper.
I also injected a large amount of apple juice in each.
I tossed it in the CS at 225 with about 10 oz apple and took them to 200 and 196. When it came time to pull them, I couldn't even get them off the racks in one piece! I had to pull the racks and turn them over into a pan. Once in the pan they nearly pulled themselves, just fell apart and tasted wonderful.
The most interesting thing, was the bark. Incredible! I can't really explain it fully. A little sweet with a tiny bite and very firm and dry. Not sticky at all.
Happy New Year!!
Zedd
