Butt is on this morning.

Good morning. I haven’t done any BBQ in a very long time. Bought some boston butts this past week on sale for $1.00 a pound. Put one butt on and covered the lid at 2:55 AM this morning for supper tonight.

Looks like a big butt there.
The butts are .99 cents @ lb here so I might go pick up a few myself.

You may need a nap before dinner time, looks like you have a good start on the cook.

Update

Butt is done. It was so good. Bake Beans, Lexington BBQ slaw, and homemade ciabatta bread (made last night). It really has been a very long time since I smoked a boston butt or anything.

I had wrapped it with foil at 170 degrees which was about 2:15 PM. It reached 195 by 4:20 PM and I double wrapped it with foil then a towel and placed it in a cooler until ready to pull which was 6:35 PM.

All in all a very good day besides the wind.

What's that yellow in pic 7 ?

 

[cleglue]

Cliff,

Are you talking about the pictures with the bone on top. I can't remember if the flash cause it or without the flash. We got a Nikon 5100 camera in January and I'm still trying to figure out the bells and whistles (aperture setting, shutter speed, flash or no flash, etc.). There were some pictures that I didn't post because of a real yellow tint.

 

[Cliff H.]

Not sure. It looks like a yellow fat layer that I have never see on a cooked butt.

The pulled pic looks superb.

There was no yellow looking at it with the naked eye. It was the lighting with the different camera settings I was trying. The camera has a food setup and I use it and then I just used auto. At times my point and shoot is much easier to use.

Got it
