    Congrats on the quitting the cigs man. I found the foods and such tasted much better after I quit that nasty habit. As far as the rub I'll post a pic of it when I get home this evening along with the final product. I cant for the life of me remember what it was called.

    I decided to start the butts up at 11 last night on 225°. I checked them at 6 this morning and they were at 162°. I had my wife txt me the temp at 10:30 and they are at 185°. Im figuring they'll be ready to come out about 2ish to be wrapped up and rest.
