• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

My first pork butt: 11lb monster

Smoke it for 4-5 hours. Then wrap it in foil with some apple juice and put it into the oven at 325 until it hits temp. Then wrap in a towel around the foil and let it steam in a cooler for an hour. Can't get more smoke into it after 4-5 hours so save yourself the time. 11# will take about 15-16 hours on a smoker at 225.
 
I was going to go ice fishing, but the windchill is around -30. Dabs and video games sound way better.

Nice looking butt. By next weekend we will be warm enough to smoke and I can't wait.

I was always told it’s 6-8 hours of smoke
