Same one, just opened up

A little more

And pulled,

The one pulled last was a bit dry but we mixed it with the others that were plenty juicy. If it was the only one I did, then sauce would be mandatory. Flavor is fantastic. The first meal I ate, I sauced with one of my favorite commercial brands and it was good. The next time I went sauce free and it tasted even better. The sauce hides the amazing flavor of that bark. I need to find/develop a "finishing sauce" that is thinner and not so overpowering.

Here is one http://www.makincasing.com/x/home.php
I can't remember the other but both are good quality. I'll try an remember to check the other when I get home and post here.

I have a "sweet rub" for pork that I like on smoked butt/shoulder. I'll post that one up, too

Here is the other vendor I've bought casing from.

Kinda surprised even without the fat cap, the pork was dry as there's usually plenty of intramuscular fat in a typical butt. Could be you got one with a bit less than normal.

This.

I trim the fat to be somewhat constant butt to butt. I also will rotate butts if some of them are smaller or larger than the rest.

Re: What's in your smoker?

Thanks guys. Bob/Steve, I will go fat cap up and mostly if not completely left in tact next time. I appreciate the advice.

Thanks for the kudos Brent. It means something coming from someone serious about their BBQ, like yourself.

Peter, I will check out that link. Plus, I'm probably not going to smoke any meat in the immediate future so no hurry. I'm still eating pulled pork for lunch everyday. Supposed to have some friends over for dinner tomorrow and use it for the meal. We should still have lots left over ever after that. ;dr

Although, I get paid tomorrow and the buy one get one sale runs through 10/27. Need to check back in and see if they have more, just in case.

Mike, another source for sausage making stuff is Butcher & Packer. Lucky for us, they're located on 14 Mile east of John R.

I used to rotate butts too, then I got married. Your wife must me really forgiving. :r

From yesterday, 18 lbs of pulled pork for a party at the brewery. Also some fire roasted salsa since the other pork photos didn't come out and I was way too busy to take pictures of the smoked brats.

...and if I had one dawa for every excuse in this thread, I'd be fairly well off too;)
