Looks good so far. We'll be right here waiting for the finished pics.
 
That is one fine looking piece of meat. Can't wait to see it done...But then, I have been smoking a Pork Butt since dawn and am starving so right about now...I want to see ALL meat in the done state.

looking good so far . The first 150 degrees are the easiest. The next 50 will take forever. Hang in there. If you are gonna pull it(shredded) make sure you take it to 205 internal for the best pull IMO. I do alot of clods and chuck rolls, they are one of my favorites.

@140 currently ... i'm planning on goin same route as my briskets . smoke till 160 , foil , sleep , take internal to 205-210 , slice & enjoy. i like the tenderness of the "pull" stage but prefer it sliced.
 
My last one hit 151 then dropped back to 147 and just sat there fer 4 hours.....I wanted to shoot it!!!!! lol

lol, ouch.... so far tonight no plateau YET . Just hit 160 , so i foiled & put in oven so i can get some shut eye. it can plateau all night long & i wont care,lol. gotta admit i think this peice is the quickest to 160 i've ever done . more pics to come in the late AM , im gonna go dream of perfectly tender beef clod.

Everything looks great you were really lucky you didn't get the dreaded stall. how big was that before you started. Cann't wait for the finishing pics. Nite Nite.
 
10.5 lber .... & i actually had to turn it down to 180 degrees @ around 5AM this morning , cuz it was threatening to finish on me while i was sleepin. currently @ 190 . around 10:30 AM gonna turn heat back up & finish her off . was originally planned to be dinner but w/o the usual stubborn stall it's looking like lunch & dinner,lol.
more pics to come soon.
