    My First Butt

    Woke up at 2:00, 7.5-8lb boston on at 2:30. Hit the 140 mark around 3.5 hours and then it stalled at 160, now I am stalled around 190... Is this common for a butt to stall twice during a smoke? I havent jacked the heat up for either but id like to hit around the 200 IT mark Any thoughts?

    My First Butt

    This is my first smoke of the new year and all of these good ideas make me want to try everything...  Then again browsing these forums is a constant tease, especially for a guy who loves to eat.

    My First Butt

    I called the local meat market this morning and I think I'm going down the rout of 2x 4 LB'ish chunks. Hickory and apple sound good so thats the game plan as of now. I appreciate the input from everyone and I cant wait to tackle a new cut of meat.
