Memorial Weekend Cooks--We Got The Meats

[squib 1,127]

Alright let's track progress of celebrating through fire and flesh the contributions made to our freedom. I am running a bit behind but have my fire settling in and will put on these butts in about 20 minutes. Bought them to make tamales at Christmas but then didn't. Tired of them taking up freezer real estate. Will throw on a chicken or two later. 

Before rubbed and then after the rubbening.

Brother?  I have two pork butts in my deep freezer that were supposed to become tamales. maybe they still will.

Maybe the tamales were the friends you made along the way.

Do you recommend that dome thermometer?  I'm thinking about replacing the tru-tell that it came with.

It’s worked for me the last couple of years.
I haven’t calibrated it but it seems pretty accurate
