24 hour butt cook. I know most people are shocked by that, but you should try it.
Start with some home made apple-jack bacon.
4 kinds of beans, brown sugar, pepper, onions and fresh ground red chipolte.
Put them on the grill with the butts around the 20 hour mark.
My first attempt at DO taters. Still learning with an old cheap DO.

I cure my own bacon. I don't like my bacon very salty so i do a soak at the end. What i have found is, during the soak is the best time to add flavor. So i soak in a 50/50 mixture of apple juice and water with a few shots of Jack Daniels. It turns out great. |
