Boston butt
« on: November 18, 2017, 11:43:59 AM »
My first Boston butt on the rotisserie.



Removed fat cap and salted Nov 16th at 6:30pm.

Placed on rack on pan and put in fridge uncovered.

Gonna use SnS and drip n griddle with a pan under meat.

Put about 15 lit charcoals on one side and fill the rest with unlit.

Add a 4oz piece of apple wood twice 30 minutes apart.

Put meat on at 11:00am.

Oven probe stuck on CB hole where I had tape.

At 300°, I closed upper vent to 1/2 and lower vent to 2 1/2. Wait and see what temp does.

Having trouble getting temp down. 12:00, 1 hr later still at 316°.

1:00, 2 hrs later 283°.

2:00, 3 hrs later 283°.

Closed down both vents nearly closed. 1/2 hr later temp is at 277°.

3:00, 4 hrs later 264°.

At 3:30 IT is 177°. Gonna let it cook a little longer.

At 5:00pm grill is 242°.

Nice! We don't see that very often here. Looks like it held together OK.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

What was your final IT? Did it end up being pull-type pork? Looks very good, and thanks for sharing!

I put the meat on at 11:00am. 3:30pm IT was about 177°. I forgot to check it after that. Removed it at 6:00pm it was fall apart good. I could have pulled it for sandwiches but preferred not to. Maybe for leftovers tomorrow. I'm thinking 195 plus. The bone pulled out easily with fingers.
