    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    Thanks! Smells amazing, but when taking a quick peek (couldn't resist) the bark may not be quite what I was looking for but we'll know soon!

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    "Yawn, followed by a longer yawn".... OK, 16 hours in and we're at 191. Cold outside still (39) but the wind died down making temp control much easier.... My son wants me to throw a rack of ribs on, so they're ready when they get here for supper!...he prefers ribs to pulled pork! Egads! Oh well...

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    No, not much. This wood thing is challenging. Hit a LONG stall at 167. Let's see, we're 14 hours in and temp is 179. Sound about right? Next time I'm picking a warmer night to do this!

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    Thanks for the encouragement! I was sort of following a post where it was done this way and he came out with a great bark. Yeah I have seen many great looking recipes on here for rubs, sauces, foiling sauces, and I even bought Jeffs recipes... I'm hanging in there, actually the fire is staying...

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    OK, 4 hours in, just barely ticked 140. Seem to have the fire a little better dialed in. About used up the wood though, going to probably have to resort to lump charcoal... Not the best pic in the dark...but the bark is maybe not quite what I thought it would be...

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    Yeah, I really do enjoy this forum and have learned a lot of theory. I have lots to learn. Love the pics, and I WILL get the hang of this wood smoking! Thanks for all the support!

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    Yeah, may have to do what I didn't want to have to do... And yeah I tried closing down the lower vents and then I get white smoke, anytime I go more than 1/2 closed the white smoke starts.... Holding temp but wow, it's a balancing act....It's a learning experience!

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    Thanks for all the feedback! Yeah I get the pic thing, no biggie. Mercy, this "all wood" is maybe a bigger learning curve than I had expected. Grossly underestimated how much wood I'd use - it's cold (39) and windy. Quite the balancing act to keep the temps from spiking or falling - keeping the...

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    You'll have to let us know how it goes. Thought about a different rub, but stuck with what that post said and seeing his results. PS, I tried posting pics of my coals and "smoke", for pointers/advice, but I guess being new, pics need approved?

    The coals look about ready to me?  Holding a steady 225. What do you all think? And the smoke, still a little white to it but had just added a stick... So far, so good, I think....

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    I guess forluvofsmoke should get the most credit since I'm pretty much trying to imitate his smoke, cept I'm going all wood, at least for the first half to get that good smoke flavor...

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    Pretty close guess on weight, 7.55 Using hickory for this smoke, seems my cherry was all used up the last chicken smoke and I hadn't noticed. yeah, I'm going to just wait it out, no foil. Looking for that good bark! Thanks for the link!

    My first all night pork butt smoke!

    Getting ready to do my first all-night pork butt smoke. Following the suggestion I have been reading on here over the last few days. Butt looked pretty good, well marbled, to me. Second and third photos obviously show the SPOG rub, looks ok to me, but what do I know? Really new to all this...
