Having a small dinner tonight. Last night about 10:30 I threw on my first whole butt. The butcher trimmed it before weighing and it is about 8.5 pounds. I figured 16 hours at 225 in my WSM. Used a full bag of Stubb's briquets Minion style. 13 hours into the cook still going strong. My WSM seems...

After smoking many chickens, figured it was time for pulled pork. Got four pounds from the local butcher. Apparently he cut one in half. He also trimmed the fat. My strategy was to use the Minion method in my WSM 18.5. I filled the ring with Stubb's briquets and 4 good sized chunks of apple...
