Special Request, Bound and Determined

[ChileRelleno]

My son Nate had a special request for Sliced pork instead of Pulled.
So I rubbed a boneless butt with extra love, bound it securely to help with even cooking and I'm determined to make him happy.

It's in the smoker with Hickory at 245°-260°, aiming to pull at an IT of 170°.

Here it is all prepped and ready.



As usual, an early start requires a good breakfast.

Huevos Rancheros con Tocino
Freshly made refried beans
Double thick weave of bacon spiced with Cayenne
Three fresh eggs sunny side up
Toasted tortillas



More to come.

Stay strong, I'm not planning on buying any ice skates.

Yep the day Chilli goes vegan is the day the world explodes.

Finished, Rested and Sliced
An 8 hour cook brought it to an IT of 170°, it probed just about butter tender.
Just the slightest resistance to the probe and it sliced real nice, fork tender, juicy goodness.
