I took the meat off at 2:30am--exactly 15 hours after I started. A had a heat problem that cost me 1/2 hour to an hour, but otherwise the cook took about as long as I expected. Just wish I had started earlier--it was nearly 4am before I had "dinner"! Anyway, I'm really pleased with how the meat...
Going on 12.5 hours now. Thinking I've got an hour or two left. Butts usually run about 1.5 hours hours/pound for me. My next post will have pictures of the finished product. Until then, take a look at the past 4 hours of my cook. I'm a bit of a Q-View addict.
