Not really, but it is one i can tell the neighbors... the same ones that have to listen to my jet engines.

Cooking with jets is another topic

Trying something just a bit different today. After searing the butt, I seasoned it with garlic and Jambalaya seasoning, put it in the crock with 2 small cut up apples and 1/2 cup vinegar. It smells really good......

Just an experiment, so don't everyone ride me for not doing it on the smoker.....

For an experiment, this turned out really well. The apple and Jambalaya seasonings added a lot of flavor. I should have added just a bit less vinegar, maybe 1/8-1/4 cup next time. I caught it at just the right time to pull it, not overdone, not underdone, but I didn't have time to finish it after pulling. I put the pulled meat in a tupper and covered it with enough liquid from the crock pot to cover, then into the fridge overnight. When I took it out today, I found the meat had re-absorbed a lot more liquid, so it was tender and really moist and had the added flavor of the liquid. Put it back in the crock, warmed it up (not cook it..) and drained off the excess liquid. Added my BBQ sauce and letting it simmer for a while. The final test will be this evening... :drool:

Anyway, this is just an FYI to anyone who cares...

Thank God it wasn't a pork loin because they don't have near enough fat to turn out well on the smoker or grill. Dougster knows stuff and if he says butt, then butt it is.

I'm sure your butt will be fabulous!

The pulled pork turned out great! Now I wish we'd bought one or two more for the freezer.
