Bull Great Pork Butt

[Rdover]

Smoked a butt yesterday. Delivering to several friends of ours today that are comprised and can't get out. I use Butcher BBQ injection and Premium Rub. My go to favorite for years. I smoke in pan at 250 until internal temp reached 170. I then wrap in foil and continue until temp reached 200. Remove and rest until warm then pull and put 1 lb in each bag.

I've been wanting to try a butt or chuck in a pan. Seeing this is making me want to even more. Did you add any broth or liquids to the pan?

Looks great. Do you always inject? I never have but wonder if I should? Big difference?

For years I smoked butts directly on the grates. Got tired of cleaning up the grease drippings AND wished I had some way to capture that wonderful juice. Starting smoking in pan after going to a bbq class in FL. Not that much difference in bark and you have the juices to add back to pork if dry. When I do not inject I usually need the juice. When I inject I do not. No need to ever add any type of broth.

I've never tried the "wrap in foil to finish off" method. But I've been reading about it lately. I have a butt in my fridge that I'll do on the Bull soon. I haven't decided if I'll wrap it in foil yet. Is that a metal grill thing?

Usually the wrapping in foil is to get the the meat past the stall. Many butts I do I leave without foil. Makes great bark. I do mop them periodically. This is my last one. Pretty good smoke ring, killer bark.

Great bark. What do you use for your mop?

Hell yeah, that looks nice!

I like to wrap in B-paper. I think it helps push the stall and keeps moisture in while maintaining a decent bark. That sure does look good.

I agree. Paper is better than foil.

I take some of my rub, Mike’s Redux, and dissolve it in butter. I add a bit of apple juice. I always mop it on hot. If not hot it cools the surface of the butt. Better hot to sink in.
