Smoking a smaller Pork Butt. It's approximately 3.5 pounds.

I'm using some apple, celery, onion, and apple juice in the water pan.

Hopefully the smaller roast won't take too long. I didn't get started until 10:00 a.m.

Hit the stall approx. 3 hours in.

The internal temp was 154 degrees F. Wrapped it in foil and added a some hot water to the water pan. Still smokin'.
 
I wrapped it in foil and went to the store. I got back a little less than 2 hours later and the internal temp was 205 degrees F. I was super tender and very juicy, but there was no bark. The outer most layer was tender and juicy too. I gotta say, I think I like it this way. Unfortunately, a lot more of the outer edges of the Butt were eaten during the pulling process than normal.

Here's the final view. It's a little blurry. I'm going to have to work on my photography.
