Looks good! By the way, head over to the Roll Call and introduce yourself to the gang! Also, may I suggest using photobucket for your pics. You can upload them at any size (800*600 seems to work best) and folks can see them much better. I just learned that myself. Anyway, I love fatties and I...
Agree wholeheartedly on the "going by temp" method. I have done several butts and every one of them has taken difeerent amount of times. Also, I have never brined one before as they usually have plenty of fat which equals a juicy taste. However, I do spritz with the Apple Juice to moisten the bark.

All three in the smoker and ready to go!!
So I bought this sorry A$$ thermometer at Wally World about a few weeks ago.
Well, let me tell you, this little piece of sh!% ain't worth the plastic it was packaged in. After only 4 smokes, look at the wire and insulation.
Oh! I think I have found the problem
So, for all of you...
