    Alright, so last night I put two butts to brine overnight. This morning I removed them from the brine and rinsed them well. After letting them sit I dried them as much as I could and smeared honey allover them then applied my homemade rub. I usually always use either honey, cane syrup or molasses as a base then apply the rub. It makes the seasonings stick better and helps to make for a better bark. Then they both went onto the Traeger at the smoke setting. They should be about done about twelve to thirteen hours from now.

    Butts update!!!
    I let these butts go for just under 13 hours and they were at 198 degrees IT when I took them off the Traeger. Brought them inside and put them on the stove in a pan to cool down a bit before pulling. I went into the bedroom to watch a lil TV while they were cooling and when I came back out about an hour later the wife had started pulling/shredding one of the butts so I didn't take any pictures last night. I pulled the second one and it was super tender and moist. I'll get a couple of pictures today when served.

    Can't show it in a picture but the bark on these butts was perfect! It was not black or burnt, had a great texture and tasted really nice.​
