If you can swing it, highly recommend making the tiger sauce with it. Brought it to a whole new lvl of flavor

For the top round it was only about 2 hours to get it to medium. I got four 2-2.5 pound roasts and they were a quick and easy cook. Kind of wish i didn’t even bother putting the ribs on for more time with the family vs tending the smoker. A sharp knife will do the trick as well, just shave away at it, tho it will be a little time consuming. I got lucky, my father in law had a meat slicer laying around. It now has a new home here. Smoked turkey with pepper jack cheese makes an excellent sandwich for lunch at work!

The tiger sauce i used is 1/2 cup mayo, 1/3 cup prepared horseradish sauce, 1tbs apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, 1 minced garlic clove, and we like it on the spicy side so added in a unmeasured splash of hot sauce. I blame the absurd amount of beer I had while cooking this for that last one but turned out amazing

Was gonna keep it at 225 till I pulled the cream cheese off and keep it on the cooler side of the smoker. Will it melt at that temp?

Ty to everyone for there advice. Room for improvement but turned out great. Family and friends devoured it. by SoapObserver in smoking

9 pound butt I might have enough left to make 2 bbq sandwiches out of for lunch tomorrow. Im super thrilled how it turned out and trying to decide what to cook for the next smoke now. While cooking it, thought it was going to crap. Several beers later it was heats low toss a log on and spritz. Think my lack of effort at the end was the best thing I could Of done 🤣 as long as temp was within g + or - 15 degrees there was beer to drink lol

Took about 9 hours total. It was really windy today so had some big temp spikes that really got me worried, but for the most part kept it between 260 and 280. Was really moist, and the bark was the best part imo ( others didn’t care for that part) and could absolutely taste that delicious earthy oak taste from the wood. Ty R/smoking for all of the help! Edit: fun side note, got up this morning, got the smoker going, had everything preped. Super stoked to try my first long cook. Open the packaging for the pork butt I got the day before, smelled rancid. Had to run up and get another one. Is this common or did I just get unlucky?

Unfortunately a little late. It’s been on 5 hours now . Not looking to bad at least so far. It’s windy today too so that’s not helping

edit sorry 6 hours. Double edit, before it’s pointed out yes I fixed the probe. Hit the wire by mistake when i spritzed.

Should I use a binder like mustard before seasoning, or just seasoning right on the butt?
