Man, that looks good! I'm about to start a butt thread myself today. Did it turn out fork tender or was it dry at 206 degrees? I plan to pull mine at 200 or until the probe slides through like warm butter.

It pulled right apart...the bone wiggled right out nice and clean also.

I went very basic since it was my first butt I used onion powder garlic salt pepper and paprika. I injected with straight apple juice just to keep it moist. I used an mes 30 and add stated before around 9 hours to complete. I'm actually sitting on the beach with my little Weber grill heating the leftovers right now!

Great looking PP--nice and moist and juicy.  Pretty impressive bark too, coming out of a MES.  Great job.
