I injected the pork butt with a mixture of beef broth, cholula hot sauce and onion powder...
schmeared the butt with Zaaschilla's Chipotle Cremosa sauce, then sprinkled with cracked black pepper...
into my drum with some hickory...
smoked at 225 degrees F until the butt reached an internal temperature of almost 200 degrees F... (a little over 8hrs) Then I let the butt rest for 30 minutes (covered).
After the 8 hr smoke, my drum was still going strong on the one basket of coal.... I closed the air intake and outlet holes to extinguish the hot coals. I'll use them on the next smoke.
I wanted to make a burrito for supper but decided to make two to compare.
The first one was topped with pintos, onions, black olives, minced jalapenos and cheese...
the second one was topped with onions and a spicy Q sauce...
I like them crispy.....
They both were tasty.... I couldn't pick a favorite...
So..... I didn't really accomplish much with my burrito experiment but it was a tasty supper. :)

Nice lookin' product there. Nothin' better than a day smokin' some meat and a cold one afterwards while enjoyin' the rewards. I'll have to give the chipotle a try one of these days. I'm doin' pretty good with a cajun mixture as my injection. Thanks!!

This puts a damper on tonight's spaghetti supper for sure. I grew up in SC and, for several reasons, consider myself to be quite the connoisseur when it comes to barbecue. I will get a smokehouse here on Rattlesnake Hill soon enough though!! You inspire me!!
Thanks CJ! After a long day of working around the farm, the smoked pork was extra tasty. :)
I like the sound of your cajun injection... bet that is great!
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you Charles! I'm sure your spaghetti dinner was great. :)
Hope you get that smokehouse built and take pictures for me!
Thanks for stopping by. :)
They both look pretty tastey Jeanie. I can see why you would have a hard time to decide which one is the best. But it was a real good excuse to have two and not feel guilty about it I guess. I'm on to you Jeanie.
lol Mark, ya caught me! Actually the two of them lasted through the next day.... I'm a wuss. lol
Hope all is going well with your house...
Thanks! :)

Hey Mike, Good to see you! Sounds like you are going to have a great weekend! Camping would be so much fun... I need to go soon. lol
Bet your jambalaya will be awesome... wish you could take pics for me. :)
Thanks for the kind comments and for the song suggestion.. I'll definately check it out. You haven't let me down yet on the music. :)
Have a great weekend and keep safe.
Thanks! :)
Looks and sounds wonderful!
If you like Cholula then you should try Tapatio! It's even better if you can believe it!
Tim Thank you! I will definately look for some Tapatio..thanks for the tip! :)
I beg to differ with ya. You did too accomplish something. You showed off your skills, filled your tummy and have all of us savoring over the pic's. You did great. I have 12 pounds of butt going now for the same type of meal. Waiting is the hardest part. Smoking on my new Ugly Cabinet Smoker (UCS). This is its initiation and its doing a great job.
Thanks David! I haven't seen pictures of your cabinet smoker.. I need to check out the forums. Looks like Kansas is having good weather today, hope the smoke goes well for ya!
Superb looking burritos! And you have a great butt too. Errr...you know what I mean;)
lol Thanks Chris!
Dear lord, I was just thinking I might stand at the end of your driveway with a sign that says, "will work for food",haha, I love this Blog.
Haha! Jeff, Thanks! Thanks for stopping by too. :)
Every time I am gone from the site for awhile and then come back--I want to smack myself! Man! I miss that part of the country! Freedom! To build a little smokehouse if I want without some landlords permission, or taxes jumping up 3 x's the cost of the little shack! Mostly, I miss good food. Sorry I've been gone (tail between my legs). I'll have whatever you're having!
lol Sounds like you need to move back to the country! Hope all is going well with you.. welcome back!
Thanks! :)
looks great again! i've had a hankering to do another pork butt smoke and now i really want to. i've never injected mine, i need to try it.
pid
Thanks pid! It's so nice to have the smoked pork on hand for other dishes.
Hope you are having a great spring. :)
looks good as usual, I've been wanting to experiment with chipotle smear or rub of some sort, think I will do that this weekend for my Mem Day Party. You rock as usual (and I would have done the same experiment... lol)
Thank you TJ! lol great minds. :)
Hope you take lots of pictures of your party!
ya, having smoked pork on hand would be great but every time i have it people seem to come and gobble it up hahah. hope your spring is going good too, we finally didn't have a freeze during the sandhill bloom, hoping for a bumper season on them as well as the elderberries and my transplanted blackberries. we'll see i guess
pid
Great about the plums, elderberries and blackberries pid!
Bet you will be busy making all sorts of jelly and wine! :)
never attempted that ha! i just like picken them and given them away for jellies in return, or snacken on some plums/blackberries during work. i should try maken some sandhill plum whine though.
pid
I like the sound of giving them away and getting jelly in return. That's a great way to do it pid!
If you make the wine, keep me posted. :)
