So I bought a Boston butt a few weeks ago, seasoned with some homemade rub and froze. Defrosted it this week. Put it on my BBQ pit with some coals and pecan wood over night for about 6 hours. Woke up at 4am and threw it in my electric smoker to finish it off.



Internal temp of 165, threw some more rub and apple juice and wrapped it up. Also threw three ducks on that I brined over night.

Took you a few weeks to get to it?

I think I bought them during the week so I seasoned and froze them.

I put the ducks on maybe 30 minutes ago. My dad thought I was crazy for smoking ducks until he tasted them.

You're going to take it off at 165? Smoke it till 190 and the bone pulls out easily.

I wrapped it at 165 and put back on. Temp is 180 right now. I'm going until 190-195, then pull and cool it chest.

Here are the ducks. Taste is great. Cooked longer than normal so the wife, kids, and neighbor would try it. I usually cook them med rare.

Looks like your preparation paid off. Thats a good looking butt. How long was it in the smoker?

Roughly 18 hrs. 8 hrs on pit with pecan wood, 10 hrs in electric smoker. It was an 11.5 lb roast.

Coleslaw, bun, sauce, and a side of cornbread to come later
