After 6hrs smoking, looking good. Internal temp was at 165deg. This pic is right after I took the temp probe out and getting ready to wrap in foil.

Sorry about the separate posts.

Here's the butt after it was wrapped until it reached 195deg and an hour rest.

And here's the finished product after it was pulled. It took me a total of 8hrs to smoke that 7.5lb butt. 

I made the finishing sauce from the recipe I found on this forum which gave it a nice little kick.

It turned out very moist and very good, although I was expecting more smoke flavor. Maybe next time I'll try to inject it to get more of a flavor.

As I mentioned before I did some sides. I wanted to try something different with the "Big ol Mess", I've heard so much about. So I decided to grill the onions, green peppers and Jalapenos.

And also grill the smoked sausage, and put it in a pan with the hot sauce and sweet an sour and smoke that also. I also found some "smoked pork neck bones" in the grocery and used that in my beans. They both turned out very, very good. Here's some pics.

Fantastic! Hard to believe how fast you were able to get it done? What temp were you at?
I was having a hard time keeping it under 300deg(I've only had this grill since Fathers day, 2nd time using it). Every hour I added about 8 coals per side( Weber suggestions) and a lump of Hickory for smoke.  For the first couple of hours it was running between 275-325deg, then I finally got it down to around 300. After 4hrs the temp probe was up to 145deg. After 6hrs it had reached 165deg and I was ready to wrap it. It never did stall, just stead temp rise all day. Only thing I did was to rotate it a couple of times.
