    My second pork butt attempt

    22 hours?! My first butt was 7.25lbs and took 11. I figured the extra .25lbs wouldn't change too much. Ugh well we might just fine on sides lol.

    My second pork butt attempt

    I'm 6 hours into my second pork butt and everything's going great! Rubbed it yesterday at about 11 am. Took it out of the fridge at 2 this morning. Fired up my camp chef at 5 and had my 7.5lb butt in at 5:30. I think I've hit the stall at 160* but I'm going to be patient. Guests don't arrive...

    First brisket starts badly

    Half success!!!! My first one 4.5lbs 11 hours pulled at 198 was dry and tough and super depressing. The second on however 5.5lbs 12.5 hours pulled at 202 was tender moist an delicious!!! Thoughts for next time: maybe less rub is was a paste-y mess. Definitely have the butcher leave on more fat.

    And they're both in the cooler! Wrapped in towels and blankets. The first one got pulled at IT 198 and the second which was bigger stayed until 202. The wait is almost unbearable.

    WaterinHoleBrew: It's hard to resist peeking! It smells really good. I'm glad I've read some other threads and the input From you and the others because I was planning on just pulling it out at 190 but now I have toothpicks ready.

    First brisket starts badly

    11/10 hours. IT 188 ambient temp 255. Getting a little anxious because dinner is supposed to be 2 hours and the brisket isn't in the cooler resting yet.

    First brisket starts badly

    9/8 hours and I've stalled and the temp has dropped to 165. I'm contemplating foiling it even though it hasn't reached 170 yet. Probably next time I add water regardless of it.

    First brisket starts badly

    7/6 hours in the smoker and we're at 167 for the smaller brisket (I only have two thermometers so I choose to track the smaller meat and the ambient temp). Hwo often do you guys chek the water? I've added water 3 times and each time I'm dry each time but I'm nervous about opening the smoker so...

PardonMan I thought you werent supposed to put cold meat into the smoker. Similar to not putting cold meat in a...

    First brisket starts badly

    4 hours in and it looks and smells good but I realize I've made a HUGE calculation error. In my heard I was still thinking I had a 10lb brisket but in reality I have 2 5ish lb briskets. They're going to be done way to early. At this point I'm banking on the "up to 4 hours in the cooler" suggestions.
