Man that looks good! We're doing a bathroom reno this weekend so not smoking anything but am going to try 'frying' wings on the kettle with my new charcoal vortex.

Interested in how those wings turn out! Haven't heard of/seen a charcoal vortex smoker. I haven't kept up with the latest options, just been using my trusty WSM for the last 12 years.
Thats a fine looking bark you got there!
What did you use for rub on the pork butt? Looks tasty.Smoked some Al Pastor and finished in the cast iron skillet. Added some resent briskets and pork butts.

Have never had rabbit, but this is how I'd want it! Assume you use a more mild smoking wood, like you do for chicken?

Typically the pork butts get a Cajun and brown sugar rub with apple cider vinegar, Dr Pepper, and honey spritz. Briskets get a Cajun, hickory and salt/pepper rub. I mostly buy different rubs and mix and match to taste. I’ll use mustard for the binding.

Cool, I've been wanting to experiment. I've been using the same home made rub recipe for the last 12 years. I've never used a binding, I just rinse off the meat and cover it with rub. Always sticks fine.
Think I'll try something new next time!

Marinated it overnight in a vinegar based bbq sauce and used oak chips.

My go to for smoking is a Top Round Roast. Salt it, sit it, then Meat Church seasoning, a 2~hr smoke at 225 up to 125 then a hot sear to 135. Then I pull it and let it cool then paper thin slice it and have the best roast beef. Store bought roast beef slices are like stringy overcooked garbage in comparison.

Is that a propane/pellet combo?

Nope, all pellets. I quit using propane years ago. Used to be only real misquote charcoal was all I would use, until I found a tragger grill. But it it's getting too small so went bgger.

My Charbroil Commercial Infrared propane grill went with the last house when it sold since I converted it to natural gas to use the house stub.. I don't think I'll be getting another any time soon. Couple friends use only pellet smoker and a Blackstone griddle now. I need to get one. You can cook everything on it.

I've got a 36” Blackstone, it's awesome. Make some tasty philly cheese steaks. Also great for breakfast; hash browns, sausage, eggs all in one go.
I've got a freezer full of deer waiting for me to quit being lazy and make jerky.Did not smoke anything this weekend but did work up some home made beef jerky.
I like to make mine a little thicker so it still has a some chew. My wife likes it exactly how you made it. My daughter likes it all and we have to hide it where she can't reach.
