Title: Last Nights Dinner
Post by: Tex A Que on July 23, 2006, 03:08:41 pm

Here is last nights dinner.  I used Chris Lilly's recipe and it came out great.   It was a 6 lb butt and I smoked it 6 hours using pecan (thanks Berry Brothers).  It was tender but 8 or 9 hrs would have been better.

It's almost a shame to fire it up for one piece of meat.  I found the recipe in the book by Mike Mills, Peace Love and BBQ.

It is never a shame to fire it up, even just for a simple Hot Dog...  ;)

A grill like that is made to be used.

It does look tasty, but yea, a few more hours in the smoker would have been fantastic.  Had the fat started to break down yet? 

Great looking grill, hope you are enjoying it..  ;)

Everything was breaking down fine.  I was able to pull it apart by hand. Two or three more hours would have put it over the top.  I had a lot to do in the morning (like go get wood) and was not able to start the fire till 11ish.  Nothing like minding a fire in 115 degree heat...  The smoker is great.  It is easy to start a good fire and maintain temp within 5 degrees.
