Church pot-luck butts
Our church had a "baby shower" for our nursery, it was a good way to get some much need new toys for the kids.
My go-to dish for a pot-luck is pulled pork.
Two butts from Sams club
Slathered with Carolina Treet, and rubbed with John Henry Texas pig rub
On the MAK with perfect mix pellets about 8pm
I checked the pellet boss program, but I must have neglected to hit "start", since I got up this morning at 0600 and only had an IT of 150F. Uh-oh. The MAK is still on "smoke". Ugh. I need to leave in two hours. I don't normally wrap butts, but I have learned here that foiling shortens the stall, but I am not even there yet. So I foiled them and set the MAK to 400F.
Voila!, two hours later I have 190F and the probe is sliding in like a knife into warm butter. But when I went to FTC them there was a large volume of liquid (I didn't add any) in the foil. Have I squeezed all the goodness out of them with my high-temp blast? I poured the liquid into a container and FTC'd that too.
I put them in FTC around 0800, and we headed off to church.
at 11:50 I started pulling
One butt pulled. The cooks sample seemed great.
I put some of the liquid in the steam table pan with the meat, but it was not dry as I had feared. I received rave reviews, and the baby shower was a resounding success.
The stampede:
