That woke up the old farts. Got up at 3:00am yesterday to prep four butts with Worcestershire sauce and Wolfe rub

I made two types of Cole slaw, a NC vinegar and Mayo/Sour Cream, NC vinegar was more popular.
My wife did the Tamale pie.

Man, I'm so dissappointed, I thought this was going to be a J Lo pictorial!

Nice looking pork, John!
 
I like Big Butts, I can not lie!

Everything looks great, John.

What did you set the Cookshack at?

Question about the probes... Are you using 4 different thermometers or does one have 4 probes?

Thinking I'll have to buy one or four!
 
Looks delicious. Now how you get that nice black color? Will venture a guess of cheery and/or hickory wood. Now is this hot or warm?

I use 225º-250º until 195º-200º internal temp. These took a little over 10 hours.

It’s only two probes with separate themo’s, the wires do look like four though. I have a couple of Taylor’s that I bought at Target 3-4 years ago.

Cole slaw recipes

When mixing dressings I use a hand mixer to really get them blended. For just my wife and I the bagged Cole slaw is ok, for a bunch I use heads of cabbage and a mandolin.

Vinegar Cole Slaw:

1/2 head of green cabbage
1/4 head of red cabbage
1 small bell pepper, chopped
1 small sweet onion, chopped
2 carrots, grated
.
Dressing:
1-cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 cup cider vinegar
½ cup white vinegar
½ cup water

Combine coleslaw, cabbage, chopped bell pepper, chopped onions, and grated carrots in a large serving bowl.

In a bowl combine remaining ingredients. Pour over cabbage, stir in. Refrigerate for at least eight hours, I usually go for 24 hours in a flat, covered, plastic container large enough to let most of the cabbage rest in the dressing.

Mayonnaise/Sour Cream Cole Slaw

1/2 head of green cabbage
1/4 head of red cabbage
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 up sugar
1-cup mayonnaise
1-cup sour cream
1 Tbs celery seed
S&P to taste

Refrigerate and let it sit overnight in a covered container. Blend with cabbage three hours before serving, keep refrigerated until then.

I like them big butts. Want to share the tamale pie recipe? Good job.

Tamale Pie

2 lbs Ground Chuck
1 14 oz can tomatoes
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 clove garlic
1 cup chopped olives
2 Boxes Jiffy Cornbread mixed IAW package
S&P

Pre heat oven to 325º. Sauté beef until brown, add tomatoes, chili powder, crushed garlic, olives, and S&P. Simmer for 15 minutes. Grease 9x13” baking pan and line bottom with one half of the cornbread mixture. Add meat mixture and cover with remaining corn meal mixture. Bake 20 minutes or until corn meal mixture is done.
