Yep, here I am with another butt thread.
I set the Weber up with a snake to cook the butt low and slow. I had a little water in the drip pan and I used a few chunks of pecan wood for smoke.
While the charcoal was getting up to temp, I coated the butt with a thin coat of yellow mustard. You can't really taste the mustard, it just helps to bind the rub to the meat. I used a mixture of some different rubs that I had on hand.
After a couple of hours, I started mopping on a mixture of apple cider vinegar and apple juice. This was just to keep some moisture on the surface. They actually make a fancy mop to do this but I already had a sock and a pair of Vice Grips, so I improvised.
After about six hours the internal temp was 180, the target temp was 200 degrees. So, at 180 degrees, I wrapped the butt in foil and brought it up to 203 degrees. I pulled off and let it sit for about 45 minute.
After it cooled a bit, I grabbed the bone to see if it would wiggle out. It fell right out.
I pulled it and plated it up with some new potatoes and onions, and corn on the cob. Awesome stuff!
