Day 3
After coffee I dove into processing the pork butts I smoked for 14 hours yesterday between 240-270 degrees. They had been stored over nite in a
cooler wrapped inside with towels. The butts were still warm in the morning. I plan on vacuum sealing all of it including the yellowtail. I was
interested in how the wrapped and unwrapped butts compared in taste, moistness, etc.
Unwrapped Butt
Wrapped Butt
Finished product after 3 days of labor
The wrapped butt won hands down in the taste, moisture, and tenderness. The unwrapped butt did have the best bark but was drier. I think I'll freeze
all the unwrapped butt to use in stews, congri, carnitas, tacos and other dishes. The wrapped will be eaten shortly as well as some bags taken to
Fullerton with me tomorrow for a room snack.
Back to work

Nice work. I just use my Weber with the coals to one side---I like the Stubbs Lump Charcoal the best but Kingsford works well too. I usually only
cook it for about 7 hours but at a higher temp---250-300 degs, but yours looks more moister and tender, will have to try the longer time...

Did the 5 lbs of charcoal last the entire 14 hours?
