smoked first pork butt this weekend

[foodsaver]

I got a smoker a couple of weeks ago and finally got to try it out yesterday. It sure is alot of work if you aren't cooking a whole bunch so I learned that lesson but here are a couple of pictures of the finished product.

Well how was it??</p>

Lesson #1, get a bigger smoker. </p>

#2, smoke lots of meat at one time, it takes the same amount of work for one butt as id does for 12 butts.</p>

 Freez the xtra, and enjoy for months!</p>

Man, that looks good, must be lunchtime! Topping it off with a fine beverage like the Y-ling, doesn't get any better than that...

It was actually really really good. It was much better then some of the que I have gotten around town I have learned my lesson Spur that thing will have 4 butts on it or it won't be cooking.

This forum has no place for reports like this, you are killing me and I guess a bunch more folks. The least you could have done was invite all of us over to try it out.

Hey Craig,
Is that smoker a charcoal burner or electric, if you havent tried the electric I highly recomend it, im with you on the work part with the electric you add some wood,plug it in and let it roll for about 18-20 hrs great smoked tast hands free. get the one that does NOT have the heat control dial ,I think its a Brinkman but not sure..just resist the urge to open it for a quick look..

This was on a charcoal smoker and once the temps stabilized it was good to go. I think when I do it in the future I will start it on saturday morning at 7:00 and let it go all day. After I pull it from the smoker I will foil it with apple juice/cider and pull it sunday so I am not up at 4 AM.
