Pork Butt with a snake and pecan

[bwb]

Had a friend give me 4 six foot pecan limbs. The smallest was 3inchs around.
Had to cook with some today!

Started a snake with pecan rounds on top


Seasoned with Myron Mixon's run


Put the butt on with a pan of beer underneath.


We will see how it turns out this evening :-)

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out! I haven't ever done a butt this way but everything I have done with beer in the water pan has turned out good. I live in a dry county (I know it's like living in the Middle Ages, but we are trying to get that changed during the current election) so it isn't real easy to go pick up beer so I usually end up using cheap Dr. Pepper instead.

Good Show !!!!


Pecan will be nice with the pork.......how old is the wood?

Good if it's dead for 6 months or so, but less will still work.....just might not burn as clean if it's new......

It's nice and dry he said it fell about six months ago and has been cut and stacked for a bonfire. I think I'll have to go back and get some more!

Here it is three hours in and 150°

Nice color.......maybe should go get more if it's gonna color up like that !!!!

Turned out perfect-- stayed on the grill for 5 hours. Then I wrapped it in foil for the last two hours.
Pulled perfectly!
