Pulled pork blues
I had a hankerin to fire up the offset tomorrow so I bought a Boston butt and every thing I needed. I get home and look at the forecast for tomorrow and guess what. Rain. I don't think I will be able to use the offset but I can use the kettle. I might try the snake method. I have got to build a covered deck.

Re: Pulled pork blues
Trying to keep all that metal warm is a challenge when it rains....I can cook in the cold...just need a hotter fire....but the rain on and off will play havoc with your temps....but you can get a nice steam effect

Re: Pulled pork blues
I decided to go with the kettle snake style. I did a stack 2 wide 2 high. Unfortunately I had to use cheap charcoal so I hope it works. Just waiting for temps to come up now.

Re: Pulled pork blues
Very nice pattern you have there. I don’t have the patience to build briquettes like that so I just use the slow n Sear now.
Can’t wait to see the results!

Re: Pulled pork blues
How many hours are all getting out of your smoke and sear? I might pick one up.

Re: Pulled pork blues
I haven’t done a long run yet. Want to do a butt soon to see. I cooked a chuckie for 5 or so hours and had plenty left. Just stirred up the coals and let it go.
I’m in the process of learning to use my vents on the Weber. Pretty much just ran it wide open 90 percent of the time before the SnS.

Re: Pulled pork blues
I messed up and let a bunch of grease fall on my lower vents / ash cleaning thingys. They are froze up in the grease and ash mixture. After this cook I'm going to hit it with some De grease and wash it.

I just replaced mine. Not bad for about 8 years of abuse

Re: Pulled pork blues
Lets talk about wrapping. I have decided to use this cook as a base line in my BBQ journal. I have used the rub I am happy with and in using the temp I am comfortable with. Now for the variable. I can not wrap, wrap in foil, or use a tin dressing pan and cover it with foil. Since this is a base line smoke I am open to all three. Input please. PS the snake is about 1/4 of the way used and I have had the butt on for a little less than 4 hours. I am pleased with this method. Also please include the temp I should achieve before wrapping. I will post a picture when I sprite again .

When running behind in your cook and you feel the need to wrap...I wrap at 160 degrees,this has given enough time to build a bark and give enough smoke...this is usually the temp when the dreaded stall happens.
I usually just pan the butt with a little liquid(apple juice/broth)cover with foil and continue on till my desired internal temp of 205/210 degrees is achieved.
Most important is to let it rest covered for at least a half hour before you pull to relax the meat....this is just my method and it works fine for me.....I am sure others here may have different methods if you do have to wrap.
