It weighed in at 2.25kg after I removed the cap of fat.
The butcher had prepped me one about twice the size but i asked him to cut it in half as today is a practice for next weekend's 21st birthday party for number 2, when I will go for the big one.
Forgot to take pics of the victim before I removed the fat and before I applied the Mrs Brown's pork butt rub. Sorry

Got my alarm call at 5:15am, so still not quite my first over nighter but i'm building to it, I'll get there!
As usual, all the prep took me longer than I had expected but she is on now.
I intend to smoke (with mesquite chips, cause they were all I was able to get my hands on yesterday) at between 225F and 250F and to an internal of about 205F.
Have a few people over for the football this afternoon, so intend to pull it (another first) and serve simply in a bap with some of that American Slaw I keep banging on about. Have already pulled a cabbage and some onions from the garden but unfortunately our peppers are no where near ready.
I have heard people mention vinegar dressings are good with pulled pork, so I am going to rummage round in the forum for one.
