I have two 7.5lbs. Boston Butts in the smoke for about 1 hour. It is 97 degrees here in Vegas today and was 89 when I started to get the smoker setup. I will probably see 110 degrees today. It is pretty dry here so the water pan is full in my MES 30 analog smoker. Later I will throw in a 2.5" thick rib eye for about an hour in the smoker before charring it on the grill.

Jasper7 I will try very hard to stay hydrated lol

This has been in for about 2 hours, it was not injected or had a thermo probe in it yet. I'm waiting to see what the temp is later before I stick it.

Well it is noon so the hydration has started Jasper7 even though it is only 101 degrees outside.

Seven hours on the Butts and I'm feeling a little hunger so I am throwing in a rib eye for an hour or so (110-115 degrees) that I will then char on the grill

I cooked the rib eye a little too much but it was still real good.
