boston butt cook times

[Highstrung]

I did a dish yesterday for a cabin full on our doveshoot. I had a trained chef, a good one hanging out and watching me.. I almost got itchy. My records are all in my head, and a few things I've posted on here. I try to cook by feel. I can because I cook for fun, not pay. But damned I hate disappointing people.

and lighter fluid taste

Negative, Ghost Rider... there is no exposure of the meat to the charcoal. The wood chips are inside the cooking chamber, the charcoal is outside.\

I DO want a BGE eventually. I just have to wait until my kid is out of college.

Take an Orion and put fake charcoal rocks in there and add a circular propane line in the rocks and just cook with gas. You would only need a few real charcoal briquettes for the lid.

Anyone tried to do this? ^^^^^

Good luck hauling THAT to the sandbar...

this is like talking to my kids about fine cuisine.

You're damn right it is.

Which part of "just provides the heat" didn't get through? Should I have bolded 'just'?

HEAT ONLY. Brine, dry rub, chips - in that order. And whoever said anything about making cooking a butt difficult. Quite the contrary. Simple, man.

The temps inside an orion are not constant. It starts off at room temp, quickly raises to max temp and then slowly falls until its time to take out yer meat.....

I dont think adding gas to the mixture would be the same. Im sure it would change the cooking times.

Simple, its about like talking hunting or fishing with someone at a family reunion. Alot of people think they know how to fish and hunt, but not many of them can.

Never said anything about making it portable.
It would sure be cheaper than burning 15 lbs of charcoal each time you use it.

I have an Orion and like it a lot. I also have an Egg I like better.

[Simple Man]

Sizzle. Burn.

And for the record, I'll have an Egg someday too.

You are probably right about it changing cooking times.
