2/9/2002 -  Boston Butt


The Method

IMG_0167.JPG (1768330 bytes) 8:00am - This time we're starting with a 7.88 lb Boston Butt.  Step one was to cover it with Memphis Rib Rub, then I added a generous layer of cheap yellow mustard. The game plan is to put on the BGE at about noon today.  Most of the finished product will be saved for tacos and Enchiladas

IMG_0172.jpg (28288 bytes) 6:00am - off the BGE. The temp remained constant through the night. When I look at 4am. the dome temp was at 240 and the internal was 188 degrees. Using a fork on each end, I lifted from the BGE to the cutting board. I have started putting the fat cap down - when removed, the remaining fat cap stays on the grill.

Life is GOOD!
