Got up early this morning to get started. Here's two butts after sitting in the brine of kosher salt and molasses last night.

Well the big one (6 pounds) is done but the smaller (4 pounds) is stuck at 170. Pulled the big one (heh heh) and wrapped it up to rest. Letting the smaller one ride. No rush, lots of time before dinner.

Nice :cool:
They'll stick on ya sometimes longer than you think, but you doin right by just lettin it ride. It a come on up when it ready.
Different pigs got different amounts of collagen and marbling in em. Ya big one prolly gonna be real juicy, lil one maybe not as juicy, but gonna have a killer bark on it and make some kinda outstanding sammiches :treerat:
Or, if you never tried it, they make incredible good hash for breakfast ;)
Thanks for da pics, I needed a shot of some real food
