Second Butt!!

Oh forgot to say that I loaded it up with Pecan again!

Ok she's done!!

It cooked a lot faster then I thought she would!! Good think I got up and checked it! At 3 this morning she was at 195! So I pulled it!

The meat is pink inside this time! I am sure that is from the smoke. But I did not get much of a bark this time. I would not think that not rubbing it down the night before would cause that but maybe it did!

It does have a different flavor then when I cooked it at 300 through, I will say that!

If it cooked in less than 1 hour per pound then:

Sounds like (to this rookie)a possible false temp reading due to probe in a bad spot.

I often use 2 probes when cooking large cuts and it's not uncommon for one probe to peak way to fast. I'm learning to place probes better now but it can still happen.

Hum did not think about that! It sure taste good though! LOL

Did you try pulling the pork? If it pulled, it was done. If not, maybe it could have smoked a little longer. The pink wasn't from the smoke though unless you're putting a charcoal briquette in with the wood.

No I did not add any charcoal.

It was done it was falling apart.

Sounds like it was done. You were fortunate and got a butt from an unstubborn pig.

Just got to love the pig!
