Yep. I used a cooling rack in the pan I smoked it in. These last picks were from when I put it in a 58 cent foil pan when I removed the butt from the ice chest. I need to buy a large enough serving plate to pull on. I appreciate all your help and advice yesterday! The feedback from my wife, son...

Too dense to add pics to an old post so here's my last set of the final. Once again, I'm very happy I found this forum (so much still to learn) and thoroughly impressed and gracious regarding all the folks on here willing to help. Bravo Zulu (Navy reference)

That looks amazing! BTW...I'm extremely sorry for hijacking your thread.

Well...I pulled it off the smoker at 201F, triple wrapped it in heavy duty foil, rolled it up in a towel and stuffed it in an ice chest at 1600. I started at 0420 so it was on for 11hrs 40min. It was so tender that it was starting to fall apart as I moved it from the pan to the foil. I poured...

Yep...going to pull it off at around 200F and wrap it in foil for 45min to an hour. I got the towels and cooler standing by. I think I took the foil off the pan to get a better bark and it's working. My BT probe says I have an IT of 178F right now so I think I'm in good shape. going to try to...

Nope and nope :-( I suppose I could check the accuracy of my BT probe by pulling it out of the grill and testing it. Man...so much to learn :-)

Yeah...I think I have the time...the IT is 165F right now and the grate temps seem to be well above my 250F I set on the controller. I put it on this morning about 0420 and wouldn't mind pulling it around 1600. First butt and I know from reading on here that meat has a mind of it's own, but it...

I does certainly help, but I think I'm past the point of no return now. I just put foil over the butt since the temp hit 163 IT without any kind of real bark. My temps are all screwed up...set at 250F and 300F-ish 3" from the foil pan at grate level. I suppose I could pull the foil for the...

Thanks. I'll give this a hard look. I threw it on the grate this morning at 0418 at a 250F temp. I do have a question about what the normal spread should be between the temp setting on the controller, the smoker thermometer and my grate level Bluetooth thermometer. I have the controller temp...

OK...Update- I plan on posting the entire range of pics once I'm done. I rubbed the butt overnight and kept it wrapped and threw it in this morning at 0418 at 250F (ran the temp up to 300F and then set it at 250F). I'm going to put the meat probe in at 0830. I do have a question. Is it common...

Thank you. It's a 8lb bone in and I'm going to throw it on at 0400 tomorrow at 250F and give it a whirl. Going to do it in a pan on a rack and cover it at 160F. hopefully it'll be done by dinner. If it's early I'll throw it in foil, wrap it in a towel and chuck it in a cooler until I'm ready to...

I apologize for hijacking this thread, but I can't seem to find "Al's Hot and Fast" thread using the search function. I'm waffling between 250F and 300F for an 8lb butt. My PB700 doesn't have any temp options between the two. Thanks. I don't mind getting up early tomorrow, but I want to make...

I really appreciate the feedback guys. I'm going to try to use the recipe from Jeff's "Smoking Meat" book the first time. I have so many questions due to not wanting to ruin it, such as" How much of the fat cap do you trim? Do you smoke it with the fat cap facing up or down? etc.

I didn't even think of that. Thanks!!!

Thank you. Really appreciate your feedback.

I'm planning on trying my first pork butt this week (go away rain) and I'll be doing it in a Pit Boss 700. It does not have a place underneath the grill for a drip pan (it has a rounded plate that allows the fluids to drain into a bucket) and I've read that I should save the drippings for once...

Thanks! I think I'm going to do the same thing.

Man...there is some good info on this forum! After talking with a colleague of mine who owns a PB700D like I just purchased, I'm going to pass on the new controller for right now. I've successfully completed my "burn off" and will try my first smoke tomorrow- baby back ribs. I do have a...

I guess I'm going about this the wrong as I first posted in a couple other threads. I live in North Central MN 180 miles North of Minneapolis and just purchased my 1st smoker, a Pit Boss 700D. I'm going to take my first swing at a set of baby backs tomorrow so I'm hoping to stave off any...

Well..I figured an update was in order, but I'm hoping it's not too much of a thread hijack given that it's about the 820. I ended up buying the PB700D given that my wife and I are new "empty nesters" and I think it'll be plenty big for anything the two of us want to throw on it. I hope to...
