No such thing as a dumb question c farmer........9 times outta 10 I usually have 1 butt and a shoulder on.  I like the different flavor the shoulder gives.  So the answer would be yes, I would cook it the exact same way 

Thanks. Can't find butts here but shoulders are everywhere.
 
I was using a cheapy electric brinkman...and that could have been the problem.  BUT....crossing fingers for you!

I just know you will rock it!  Tired but it will taste sooo good!

  Thank you very much for the kind words.  I have faith its gonna turn out pretty awesome......Im just getting excited for ribs now..  When its time, I'll wrap the butts and let 'em hang out til I wake up in the morning.  The IT is climbing slowly now, up to 158
 
Almost to wrap time....it will go by quicker when its foiled.

Gotta run....show pics so I can see in the morning!

Night!

Its 1:15 am EST and I have just pulled my late night snack off the smoker.  The butts are at 165 IT so they have been double foiled and put back on the pit.  I'll take them til 205 and put them in a cooler with towels and let them hang out til I wake up.  Here's a couple shots of the Baby Backs I did............


I didnt wrap these at all, just let them cook straight for 4.5 hours.  I just used aluminum foil to pull them off the smoker since I already had it out there to wrap the butts.





These were so incredibly moist.  Perfect amount of smoke and the sauce I made just set them off.  You taste the smoke in the bark, the awesome pork flavor in the flesh and you get that hint of sweetness from the fruits in the sauce.

Ribs look great.  Kind of sending me into withdrawal.  Damn, I mean, it's been at least 5 days since I smoked some   :(

  5 days?  What are ya waiting for??
 
Just hit the 13 hour mark, and the IT is at 181 and climbing by the minute.  Hopefully I hit the mark pretty soon so I can throw these bad boys in the cooler and get some sleep.  I cant wait for lunchtime tomorrow!!!
 
Here's the QVIEW of the final product.  What an inredible adventure this turned out to be.  From the wind kickin my butt and causing big temp drops, to the baby stalls, to finally getting the CGO under control and keeping temp for more than 8 hours, to enjoying my midnite snack of baby backs, and finally hitting the target temp 14 hours later.  I double wrapped both the butts at 165 IT, and from there it took another 3.5 hours for the IT to get to 205.  They rested in the cooler with an old hoodie over top of them and were still nice and warm when I woke up 4 hours later.  Ok now what everyone is waiting for..........



Pulling the bone out



Beautiful smoke ring achieved!!



Just falls apart right in your hand

I could not be happier with the results.  The pork is so incredibly tender, and after mixing my sauce in it's heavenly!!  You taste the rich smoke flavor righ off the bat, but then you chew and start noticing all the different flavors in the sauce.  Its subtle, sweet and smoky.......and best part of all, the fam LOVES it!  Thanks so much everyone for hanging in there with me and for all your posts on this thread.  You definitely made this long smoke sooo worth it!
 
Looks great; love the pile of meat right on the cutting board!  I don't know how many times I've questioned what the results might be due to cold weather or wind or whatever but that just goes to show if you have patience and stick with it the best you can it usually comes out great in the end.

I agree 100%  It was definitely a pain and tested my patience when the wind was whipping.  But like you said, just stay calm, grab a beer or whatever you drink and sit back to enjoy the ride.  Next time it happens, you will be on top of it!!

Yeah, have to keep your energy levels up on those long smokes.   Its kind of funny when I have a party with a bunch of people over, the ribs and whatnot come off the smoker, everyone else digs in and they notice that I don't eat very much.   Then again, they only watched as 8 racks came out the smoker, not knowing that 9 or 10 went in to start with  :)

As for the wait, you're right.  It's been too long.  Just decided to smoke a nice little pork loin.   Qview to follow of course  :)

  So funny because I do the EXACT same thing..  Shame on people for thinking that we will tend to the smokers for these long periods of time without eating any of the result!
