Double Hickory Shagbark-ed Dumpster Butts

The glue. (Hickory #1)



The rub. (open a bunch of rubs and 'dump' it in - Salt Lick Clone is the primary component)



Make a mess... (about 35 pounds of butts)




Hickory pellet (Hickory #2) mix in the hopper. MAK is set at 245°. We'll check back after some coffee tomorrow AM!

7:20AM check...






Bottom ones were done, so I've pulled them off and wrapped up tight in the cooler for transport to my buddy's house. The others are climbing out of the 170s now..

I had a nibble of the 'weld' off of the frogmat, and they are very tasty. Just a hint of sweetness from the syrup.

I'll get some more pictures later this afternoon when we get it all pulled at my buddy's house.

Last 2 are done. Right as the rain moved in. These ones got an extra coating of shagbark syrup last night.

Great looking Butts Squirt !!! Wonderful looking bark.

Nice butts squirt! I need to make room for butts on my cook calendar, this weekend is all requested up!

Good looking stuff there Squirt, gotta love waking up to that beautiful bark after a good night's rest.

Great title & great looking butts!

You have me pretty intrigued with the Shagbark Hickory syrup. I love both Maple & Sassafras. I have some sassafras root and have even thought of making some syrup. Shagbark Hickory grows here in Ohio. What's the syrup taste like?

Great cook Squirt! looks like a mess of pulled pork! Smokin Don

The syrup is a nutty/earthy Maple syrup. It's very good.

Yeah, we pulled 2 at my friend's house and tossed the other 2 in his garage fridge. He's got enough pork to feed the entire golf course now.

Great looking butts Squirt! Gives me inspiration to give them a try myself.
