nice looking Boston Butts so far, lookin forward to more pics.

Im doing one on Sunday, they are on sale at a local market for $.99/lb..

 

[irishteabear]

There's no such thing as too many of the same thing! Join the party.

Yours are looking good!

 

[bigtrain74]

.99 cents are a good deal!

Are the ones that are on sale have them with the bone in or out?

 

[chisoxjim]

bone in, I like the bone in for flavor.

 

[bigtrain74]

Bone in is the only way to go!

 

[beer-b-q]

Both are looking GREAT...

 

[bigtrain74]

6 and 1/2 hours in... Processing nicely!

 

[backcountry]

Wow, those are really starting to look good now!

 

[realtorterry]

hey BT 74 you put anything on those butts?

 

[bigtrain74]

I basted them with mustard and Jeff's Rub... I have found that the rub works really well on the butts and not just ribs...
Also spritzing them every so often with apple cider vinegar and water mix.

Ive been sick all week and really wanted to get do a pastrami too but, hey beggers can't be choosers!

 

[realtorterry]

you da man

 

[bigbaldbbq]

Looks sweet so far.

I haven't smoked too much in the last few weeks. The honey do list took charge...haha.

I will be doing tomorrow a butt, beans, abt's, and salt. I'll keep you posted

 

[irishteabear]

Looking good!

BT,
Are you finding that they are cooking any slow with two in the smoker rather than one? I am smoking 3 butts tomorrow and am wondering if I need to alot astra time.
Thanks,
shriv

 

[bigtrain74]

I am not finding that they are going slow really... I have noticed the temp fluctuate a 10 degrees up and down every so often though... Im trying to figure it out myself... The temp is at 150 now... My Butts always take 12 - 14 hours to have them perfection...

 

[bigtrain74]

They are now stalled at about 155 degrees... I hate this part...

 

[danbury]

Yep.. the old stall or plateau. Got to be patient and just let it do it's thing. Rewards are big in the end.

 

[chisoxjim]

passed the stall yet big train?

I picked up a 8# butt for Sunday, its the biggest I have done I figure Ill start mine around 6:00 a.m. to make sure I get it done for supper.
