Today is my first attempt at pulled pork. New smoker, first time smoking. Using a 5# Boston butt. Put on rub last night and let it sit overnight. Put it on the smoker @ 730 this morning and it's going strong. I'm using apple wood and pecan. Been able to maintain 225-250 fairly easy with the basic mods to my unit. Not planning on foiling. Going to let it stay naked the whole time. Currently @ 160 IT.

Be prepared for the stall. The time it took to get to 160 is not linear to what it takes to the finish temp. Just hold your temps and go along for the ride. You will be rewarded!!
 
there will definitely be more pictures to come. I believe its at its stall right now. Has only risen 2 degress in like 2 hours. Im at 177 IT right now. The dog wont leave the smokers side heh

Yes it has been quite windy. I have the wind blocked as best I can and have been able to keep the temps pretty stable. Strangely every damper is closed on the thing except enough for my thermometer cord and it's going perfect. Up to 195 after 10 hrs.
