Officially a Redneck

[ponyo]

Got some pork butt in the smoker. I figure it's time to graduate to something other than pork ribs and salmon. Hopefully it'll finish by tomorrow morning. Using apple wood for the smoke.

Good luck with your cook!

What smoker? I just got a Weber Smokey Mountain. I did ribs today for the first time. Turned out great! I will probably do a pork butt next weekend.

 

[Fritzo]

Geeze-O-PETES! How long are you smoking that thing???? They only take about 6 hours for me! I hope you cover it in foil, or it's going to be like licking wood ash.

Sorry Bubba, that don't make you no Redneck. It's a lifestyle that turns left at a 180 mph and wears a wife beater while drinking cheap whisky and even cheaper beer.

What if I like bbq and cheap beer but not cheap whiskey? Does that make me the metro version of redneck?

Well a real Redneck would know cheap whiskey works with a beer chaser.

Ill bet I am one of the only true rednecks on anandtech.

Computers, forums and rednecks don't go together.

Somehow my redneck life took a detour when I saw software code for the first time and it looked second nature😀

But I haven't lost my roots.

Nascar, mudding, cheap beer (bud light), hunting, fishing and the occasion rowdy bar fight are things I try and work into my busy schedule

hehe...


Oh yeah smoking butts doesn't count with a wimpy weber smoker...
It has to be done on an old oil drum that 3 rednecks welded and converted into a pig cooker from scraps laying around the farm

Yeah I kind of suck as a Redneck. Sure I like all that good stuff like cheap beer, nasty women, meth and hanging out in Trailer Parks but I'm a fan of JGR and they drive Toyotas.

I kid, I kid, I don't like nasty women and meth.😉

Welcome to the club.

And where are the freaking PICs? I want piggy butt pics.

I'm using Weber Smokey Mountain smoker. I left to take my daughter to see Wall-E and a game of miniature golf and just returned. When I left, the temperature was 226 F after starting the charcoal using the minion method. When I returned 5 hours later, the temp in the smoker was 246 F. Perfect. At this rate, the butt should finish hopefully around 8am. I'm going to take it out when the internal temp of the butt hits 190F. I'll take some pics in the morning after I take it out.

I like Bud light, drive a Chevy, and love a good BBQ. Being Asian and living in GA, that's enough to qualify as a Redneck.

Watch your fuel and air. It does great for the first 12-14 hours or so then you may need some more fuel or more air and you'll be well out of water by that time. But that all depends on your external temperature and wind so you might be alright.

And don't worry too much about internal temps, it's done when the butt starts falling under it's own weight. Give it a good butt grab and that should tell you what's up.

Good luck and keep at it. No matter what you do it will turn out pretty damn good at worst. Mindblowing at best.

How does your average redneck run into software code, did someone bring a
laptop to a cow-tipping event??

Thanks. Just woke up to take a piss and to check on the smoker. Temp was down to 210F so I stirred the coal and opened two of the vents to 100%. Water level was still ok. Temp immediately shot up to 260F in minutes. I closed the vents back down to 50% and am going back to sleep til morning. Fuel looks good for another couple hours easily.

Hmmm..that sounds good...smoked pork...

My Uncle used to raise hogs..and well..we would eat one of them from time to time.
He would shoot them in the head with a 10 gauge slug, the slug would go all the way to there butts.

Keep us updated on how the meat turns out.


EDIT:
You know...we might have to start callin you Bubba...😉


🙂

That butt is probably off the smoker by now. Where's dem dar pics!

And a true redneck adds some beer to his bloody mary.

I BBQ (not grill, BBQ) all the time and I'm no red neck. Most red necks from my experience don't know how to BBQ, they just cook meat until it's like an old leather shoe.

 

[meltdown75]

sounds delicious!!!

as a side note, nothing beats adding to your redneck status more than a nice pig roast :heart: mmmmmmmmmm

The butt was finished when I got up at 7am and smoker temp was 246F. Internal butt temp was 195F. I pulled it and wrapped tightly in foil and moved it to the empty icebox to rest. Made the Carolina red vinegar sauce and mixed it in while pulling the pork. I'm very happy with how it turned out. Meat was practically breaking in my hand as I held it. So good and easy to make. Not to mention cheap. I'm eating my third sandwich as I type this. 🙂

Thumbs up to WSM. Held the temperature very well and I didn't even have to add any coal. I didn't baste or turn the meat at all and didn't open the smoker until the end pull it out.

I love smoking meat...by the time it's done, it just falls off the bone...I'm hungry just thinking about it...

Congrats! Looks great.

If you want more smoke ring, add some more smoke wood halfway through.

Wow you're from Soddy Daisy? I haven't met anyone from there (driven through it a ton on 111/27). I'm north of you and east of Cookeville. Small world.
