Thanks guys, I put on a shoulder at 4:45 am this morning. Smoker is at 225° and IT is currently 140°. Going to let it go without foiling and spray with cider vinegar and Captain Morgan. Then spray my mouth with Captain Morgan and coke.
 
Some good pics in this thread!

Just out of curiosity, how much do you guys usually pay for Pork butt per lb?

I guess it just depends on where you live but the price the that the original poster seemed high for a sale price.  I got some last weekend for $1.38 per lb from Sam's club.  They package 2 butts together and it was only about $24 for the pack.
 
Looks like a good smoke to me War Eagle.

I am in the no foil while cooking camp as well.  After a good number of butts under my belt I assume 2 hours per pound for Boston Butt.  (If it finishes early it will do fine resting for quite a while.  Several hours is not a problem as far as I am concerned). 

The bone is a built in "doneness" tester.  When you can easily pull it with a little twisting, and it comes out clean, your done.
 
My local grocery will try to  get 4 something a pound, a shoulder price tag of over $30.00.  If you wait it out, I'm in there almost every day, they will be dramatically reduced!  They have me hooked as soon as the price is below $1.25.  I can't get over the amount of pulled pork perfection for such a low price.  

After over a year of attempts, Jeffs rub has made a pulled pork lover of my better half.  

Smoke on!
