New AQ | Cookshack

Former Member

Finally got a chance to put the new AQ to work. Shoveled off 6 inches of snow on the back porch, followed Pork Butt 101, outside temp was 2 above zero, and after 14 hours pulled out a master piece. Only thing I forgot was to let the butt rest for 30 minutes. I was so excited about my first smoke we started pulling and eating right away. Pulled beautifully and tasted great. Ribs are next and can't wait.

Good job on your first AQ smoke.

Just in case you didn't read Smokins Pork Butt 101 here's a link to his finishing sauce which will kick the meat up notches unknown

Thanks MaxQue. Used the vinegar mop as a sauce but will try the apple mop next time.

Rest?

Ha. Never happen on your first smokes. That's half the fun, eating it right off the smoker.

Congrats.

Sounds like you got our weather right behind us.
Ain't it great it doesn't slow the AmeriQue down!
