What temp did you cook that butt at? How long did it take?
I tried smoking giant zucchini a couple weeks ago. Not sure if I like smoked zucchini..... I wanted a light smoke, so I used some maple pellets, which at the time were the lightest smoke pellets I had. I would not recommend them. Very distinct flavor. Not sure if I liked Maple at that point.
My last smoke was a few large chicken breasts. Again, I wanted light smoke, so I tried the maple pellets again. Setpoint used was 300F, and I used the meat probe with the meat temp set to 160F, so it could internally cook to reach the recommended temp of 165F.
Worked perfectly. The chicken was so moist, a friend of mine got squirted in the eye by juice when he went to cut a slice off the breast. The maple smoke however.....again, I don't think I'm a fan of maple.
So last weekend I bought a few bags of different wood pellets. Pecan, Alder, Chery, Apple and a mix. Looking forward to trying each.
