Second Smoke - Much Better

[m5allen]

For my second smoke, I decided on a pork butt. After I removed the butt from the wrapping, it pretty much fell in two pieces. I rubbed the 2 butts with mustard and a blend of cajun spices, lemon pepper and paprika.

During my first smoke, I had a problem with getting enough smoke out of the wood without igniting it. With a little help from the SMF, I found the solution...I put my wood chips in the bowl, covered them with foil and poked some holes in the foil. I also added a few chunks of charcoal Smoke was billowing out this time.

What I am going to do in the future is mix small wood chips with a couple of large wood chunks in the fire bowl. That way, the chips will provide some good initial smoke and the chunks will keep the smoke going for a while.

The meat turned out fantastic. It had a great smoky flavor and the rub added a little kick. My friends are now begging me to smoke more meat.

Next up....ribs.

Looks good.
Nothing like a bunch of demanding friends, they make you smoke meat when there are "real" chores to do.
Can't disappoint our friends, can we Honey.
Works every time.

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together? Good luck with the ribs.... if I didn't know better, I'd say you're already hooked. Post often and be sure to show us your pictures.
