man.. this cinder block pit is GREAT! two hours in... half bag of KB.. she is holding right at 250... I was throwing chunks of cherry straight on the coals.. but the would flare up to much.. so I had to foil them... much better... other than that.. she is sizzling away.. picture of progress to come shortly.. Im sure ill need to refuel soon..

2 hours in.. 

Pit temp 250* 

Left Ham IT 117*

Right shoulder 118* 

Its starting to smell like a pig is cooking :)
 
5 hours in.... hams are reading 190... shoulders195... cooking quicker than I thiught..
Gonna let fire slowly crawl down...
Got a few different style sauces.. all recipes from SMF members.. will give proper thanks later on.
Also made the finishing sause as well..

Both Mikey and I just took the lid off.. was checking skin texture. its crispy..still firm to the meat but getting close where I think is gonna be great. .. and we both decided not to flip... I think if anyone wants some crispier skin I can throw it on the grill... 

am I gonna have any problems ( i cant think of any) if I dont flip. I for one am just lazy to flip... but also for cosmetics.. she looks very pretty sitting exactly how she is... 

any input?

Thanks, unfortunately there is NNOOOOOOO breeze out here anymore... I think Foam stole it all.. Thank the Lord for the fan next to me :) 
 
Take back the last TEMP update.. my probes were reading way higher.. 

I re positioned both probes. Im gettting 150's in the hams.. and a 160 in shoulders..

that sounds a little more like it..
