Sorry Im not much of a internet poster when I realize forums survive on content! Its cooling off here in Kansas with our first 30deg mornings and good weather to break out the stick burner. Got up at 3:30am and put some pork butts on

Baked Mac and Cheese. Put it in the smoker with a fresh Hickory split to melt the cheese with a smoke flavor then finished in the oven

And Done!

2nd butt off and resting -- Have a Costco Mac and Cheese, after puling last butt I put on a Hickory splint, raised temp and put the Mac and cheese on the smoker enough to melt the top layer

1st butt pulled at 205deg and wrapped in foil. 2nd butt is 195deg
