First Butt on Chubby (pic heavy)

[smokytoes]

Here's my first pork butt smoke on my Chubby. First rubbed with mustard then my dry rub. Smoked at 225F with apple, cherry and maple. I first injected with a quart of some of my rub dissolved in apple juice. Foiled at 170F but I think next time I will foil when the color is to my liking versus using a temperature to keep the butt from getting too dark. I use this method for my ribs and it works great. Also, going to start smoking fat cap down to get a better looking bark and prevent grill marks on the money muscle. Pulled from smoker at 190F and rested in cooler for 1hr. Finished product was a little dark for my taste but the moisture and taste were spot on.


9lb butt from my local butcher. Get's his hogs from a local farmer so the meat is always great.


After injection, mustard, then dry rub.


All set to go into the Chubby.


Rested and ready to be pulled and eaten!

Looks good for the first one.

Thanks. I've done lots of butts and shoulders before but this was the first one on the BWS. I can definately see now why people say to watch the color cause the draft on these smokers sure do add a lot of color fast.
