Only bit of advice I can give is to get internal temp up to 205 for it to pull well. I used a finishing sauce mixed with the meat after it was pulled and it was delicious! I used Jeff's BBQ Sauce as well for those who wanted some. I used his rub as well and the bark was amazing!

Welcome aboard, Pogue! Glad you joined us. You've found a great place to learn and share ideas. Lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks here who enjoy helping one another. Good luck with that butt smoke, its a pretty forgiving piece of meat, so it should go OK.  Just remember to get it through the 'danger zone' within the first 4 hours of cooking (from 40*-140*).  And just ask when you need help and you'll get plenty.

I really like your smoker!!!

Here is a good thread to refer to: http:

The foiling section is optional, some do and some don't. If you foil your meat will get through the temp stall faster but will soften up the outer bark. Start early and expect the pork to take 8-16 hours. Once it gets to 200 degrees you can wrap in in foil and a towel in a cooler and it will stay hot for hours. Leave it intact in the cooler and pull it before serving.
