Ok guys i wanted a trial run cook to get my timeline down for the actual competition next weekend. Rules of the Comp is i should be able to cook 50 lbs of meat so here's what I'm cooking:
2 Boston buts and 2 racks of baby backs. Its not 50 lbs but it should make for a decent comparison.
I had a couple of questions that need to be answered: I know the ribs won't take as long to cook so when do i put them on the Mak 1 Star? When to foil the Butts? How long will the cook take? These Butts are big ones too =)
Ok my day started at 5:30am when i woke up to my dog licking my feet eeww. Pulled all the meat at 6 am after making coffee. Started trimming the butts at 6:15. Took 15 or so minutes and I applied rub and the injections. Let Butts sit until they began to sweat (about 30 minutes or so).
Meanwhile I prepared the ribs…cut off the ends and trimmed the fat a little. Applied rub and Suran wrapped both ribs and placed them in the refrigerator.
Placed Pork Butts on Mak at 7:30. Temp is 250 and spraying with apple juice mixture (not telling what else is in there) every 30 mins.
4 Hours into the cook things are going well. Butts are coming along nicely with good color. I took ribs out of refrigerator and lets them sit for 30 minutes or until they began to sweat. Put the ribs on the cooker at the 4 hour mark. Butts have IT of 126 and 128 respectively.
Im wanting to foil the butts at 155 or 160
Ill post pics soon….
