So we have 2 pork butts here.
I usually use bone in,much tastier but all they had was boneless so we gotta go with it.
I'm going to add 2 quarts of Dr Pepper and put it in the oven on 200 for 12 hours.
I rubbed it in Montreal steak seasoning.
We'll look at it in the morning. ;)
Don't know if I can still keep up with Luis :thinking-face::smiling-face::thinking-face:but I'm going to try....:upside-down-face:
God, I wish your restaurant was down the street!
 
I'm getting this as soon as I land from my favorite restaurant in London:

Okay JoJo you know Smorgasbord rules while on vacation food pics please!
 
By the way... I want to say sorry not sorry for starting the riot for POTM. I didn't mean to get everyone worked up but I'm glad it worked out for you Walker. Congrats and well deserved sir!
No need to be sorry Tim. You did nothing wrong!
 
@Calmwaters, what do you want your mag to be at and do you know the amount of total gallons in the system? Or do you just know sump+dt=125?

I recommend going slowly, any sudden change is just as bad
