This weekend I cooked a case of butts for a buddy's party. The results were amazing. Rave reviews from a group of about 45 hardcore BBQ fans. The steps are:
1. smoke setting for 3 Hours
2. go to the 250 setting and take a 4 hour nap
3. Return to find the cooker had gone out
4. Panic
5. Clean unburned pellets from cooker
6. Cook on 250 for 3 1/2 hours
7. cook on 300 for 2 1/2 hours
8. wrap in foil and place in cooler
9. throw the coolers in the back of the pickup
10. drive 3 hours to the party.
I know you are thinking that this method could be hard to duplicate, but the price of glory is not cheap. Seriously, the butts were outstanding. I wish I could figure out what part of this chaos lead to a great product. I hope it wasn't the pickup ride.
