My first butt with Q-View - was - (Can I cut my butt in half)?
The right side half reached 205F, just took it off and double wrapped in foil to let it rest a while. It tried to just fall apart when I was taking it off. The other half on the left side, not quote there yet - disappointing - it is at 185F, just lit another chimney of coals and will be... -

My first butt with Q-View - was - (Can I cut my butt in half)?
Woohoo, the IT of the half on the right is 201F. Going to let it get up to 205 before removing. I have not checked the half on the left yet, figure it should be close especially as I think it is a little smaller than the one of the right - will check it before taking it off though. Just made... -

My first butt with Q-View - was - (Can I cut my butt in half)?
Thanks dirtsailor, man oh man the anticipation!!! I have not eaten hardly anything today, just a handful of chips. Saving up for it! Hey gang, so when I take it off to rest - should I just wrap it up in alum foil and set aside for an hour or so before pulling? -
My first butt with Q-View - was - (Can I cut my butt in half)?
Almost 6 hours in - put the meat thermo in and snapped a quick pic: IT of that half on the right, is at 189F. Shooting for around 205F. Edit: Glad I waited so long before putting meat thermo in, did not have to watch the long dreaded stall I have read about here. IT now at 194. -

Looks good! Dang I am hungry! Congrats on finally getting done! -
My first butt with Q-View - was - (Can I cut my butt in half)?
5 Hours in: Temp starting dropping, checked on it and the coals getting very low, just lit a chimney full and dumped in. Guess I will insert meat thermo soon, let the temp get back up over 240 first. -
My first butt with Q-View - was - (Can I cut my butt in half)?
4 Hours in: Temp holding steady 240-245, winds have calmed some and easier to maintain. Still running on my first load of coals in the basket ( minion method). Adding a few hickory chunks every 45 min or so to keep the TBS going. Think I will wait a while longer before inserting meat... -
9 1/2lb Pork Butt
Sounding really good, I bet it will be well worth the wait. I sure hope the one I am doing today does not go anywhere near that long - I got a a10 lb butt , but deboned , laid it open, and cut in half ( butterflied), so have two probably around 4.5 lbs each or so. Look forward to seeing the... -

Indeed, I started using Jeff's rub a couple of smokes back, and really love it- so far have used it on spare ribs, today will be using it on pulled pork.- dburne

My first butt with Q-View - was - (Can I cut my butt in half)?
Three hours in, temp holding fairly steady for last few minutes around 243. Must be a lull in the wind out there. Would love to take a peek, but I dang sure ain't opening that lid anytime soon... In about another hour or two I will insert the meat thermometer of my Maverick ET732, will... -

Yummm - I hope to be doing my first brisket before too long , looking good! -
My first butt with Q-View - was - (Can I cut my butt in half)?
Lol, I can tell when the wind dies down some watching the Maverick here in the house, temp rises by about 8-10 degrees pretty quick lol. Back up where I want it now - 243 degrees ( shooting for around 240). Due to the wind and trying to keep temp up, I may not spritz it with my mop like I do... -

My first butt with Q-View - was - (Can I cut my butt in half)?
Ok first of the Q-View: App 10 lb butt, deboned ( butterflied) into two halves. Jeff's rub applied last night, sitting on the counter this morning waiting on the smoker to get up to temp. Temp is rising slowly, very slowly, but it is 36 degrees outside brrr. Draft is wide open, maybe it...
