Thanks, i don't get to do it enough either. 50+ hrs a week at work then spending time with my little girl doesn't leave much time. But when i get the chance I'm all over it.

Just over 6 hours in and have hit 165. No stall yet, now the question is should i just leave unwrapped and see if it will just power through or wrap and be done with it? Guess i will just wait and see. I am going hotter on this at between 260 and 270.

One hambone to another: I say foil them bad boys! Just kidding. Either way will work. I think I'm inclined to foil to save charcoal since it speeds up the cook a little. I guess with electric smokers you never run out of fuel! Good luck , hope they come out good. :grilling_smilie:

Just pulled them of at about 202 degrees, no stall at all, just about 10 hours. I decided to leave them unwrapped and i got a great bark on them, had to sneak a piece before they hit the cooler.

Here are two of them.

This unit is actually the propane burner. I have been tempted to venture into charcoal/wood burners, but to be honest this just makes it so easy and the food turns out great.

Got them all pulled, got just about 50% of pre cooked weight out of them, 12 lbs of finished product. Hit them with just a touch of finishing sauce and in the fridge until the party.

I would have taken some more pics but i was watching my two year old at the same time and its even harder with pork fingers but will definitely get some sammie pics tomorrow.

Meat had a ton of juicyness even though i didn't wrap so I'm very pleased there. Will be serving with options of finishing sauce (which is my choice)( thanks for the recipe Chef JJ) and also a mustard based sauce and a sweet bbq sauce i made with sb rays and drippings thati reduced.

Now its time for a cold Coors and watch the Packers avenge the "Fail Mary" from last yearagainst the Seahawks.
