GF and her mom did some of the 127 sales down into OH yesterday. Shoulda told them to keep going down to TN:).

I love how forgiving butts are and how varied the process can be to still get a great outcome. I do mine 200-225 until they get to at least 190. I want that bone to just slip right out. No spray, I like a lot of bark. I'm a cap down guy on the WSM with hickory, I've done up to eight for a couple of receptions. I've rested them anywhere between one and four hours, but the rest is a must IMO. I've made and tried a lot of sauces but always come back to a pretty basic vinegar based sauce with Texas Pete's.

To answer the title of the post, I'm finally getting a day off tomorrow so I'm brining a whole pork loin tonight to smoke to 145° before resting(which should get it right in the safe zone)on Sunday. I almost look more forward to the al pastor tacos with the leftovers next week with some pineapple, cilantro, and red onion. Damn, way too early in the morning to be drooling this much...

I do a lot of rub, fat cap up. 200 - 250 till they fall apart.

Local market sold some nice big loins recently. I could fit the whole thing on the smoker, but it's a little unwieldy to brine.

Here's the brine after I pull the meat out. Salt, brown sugar, water, garlic, black pepper, and onion.
