I had a very busy weekend & wasn't able to smoke anything 

  I decided to throw a pork butt in to eat tomorrow.

Here is a 9lb butt with a nice coating of rub.

I warmed up the MES & threw it in.

Just after putting in. I added a screen of salt also - with a long smoke like this it should come out great. Smoker temp is 225* running Pitmaster's Choice pellets.

IT just hit 160 so I'd say I'm heading into the stall. No foil as I'm going for some good bark & I'm in no hurry - I can wait

There are very few tissues left but you are welcome to them - I had to use most of them to try & insulate my box. It's very cold & windy here & I'm having trouble maintaining temp in the box

The start of a nice large sammich in Roller's bread 

  One of these was quite filling! 

I don't have a pic of the salt yet - I will put it up when I get one...
