    15lb packer today for the 4th

    Thanks Chris! I kind of have mixed feeling on this one. I would have liked to have seen the grain open up a little more. Much more though and it would have been falling apart. It was tender and Juicy, I'll settle for that.

    Pork butt cooked fast & I have to keep it for 8 hours

    I would pull it, save some drippings and stick it in the fridge. Then get it out and reheat it @350. With drippings or a little apple juice or finishing sauce.
