Good Sunday morning. Picked up a 7.5 lb pork butt on sale earlier this week for the family coming over. Got it on about 5:15 this morning. I always say I'm going to start at 3:00 but just don't want to get up that early! Wish me luck in the stall.
Went with pecan chunks and Stubbs briquettes. The mini seems to like the 250 range today. I've got the vents dang near closed and its holding solid. I find it somewhat odd how fast these butts heat up in the beginning and then slow down. At the 2 hour mark its up to 120 IT from the 35-40 degree starting point. That's 40 degrees an hour! Then as is always my luck I'll be stuck at 170 from noon to 5...
