Picked up a 9lb Butt. Got it all rubbed and will toss on the GMG Pellet smoker at around 2AM hope to eat at 6pm(tell me is i meed to go earlier)
Can't wait

That should be perfect.. mine usually get done in about 13-14 hours and a couple of extra hours to let it sit and marinate in a cooler or cambro don't hurt a dang thang.;)

Sounds like a great plan Jeff gave you a good idea about cooktime. Butts are forgiving and warm up really well. B

Can't wait... usually only do about 4lbs at a time or some ribs

Sounds pretty close on cook time. They take longer on my GMG than they do in the stick burners as they like to run around 260-280°. You can speed it up a bit if needed by foiling it at the stall. I add a cup or so of apple juice, then reserved the liquid, separate the fat and add a bit of it to the shredded pork for more flavor. Good luck, and don't forget the Q view!

I’m so incredibly thankful my kind of illness is within these hallowed halls of smokedom!

I can’t wait to see your finished smoked butt @shipwama...

Looks like this one had little to no stall. Sitting at 171 already. Only been at 215 220 the whole time.
Going to be an exercise in keeping it warm

When's dinner planned for?
Reheating may be preferable to over done'ing. :rolleyes:

GMG was a strong contender for me. And still might be as an RV grill.
If we ever go anywhere again... o_O:rolleyes:

If it gets done early, which can happen from time to time, just wrap in foil and put it in a empty cooler or cambro with towels, newspaper, pillows, etc. around it to fill in the empty space and it will stay piping hot for 4 hours or better. Seems like it's even better when this happens.

Yep that was my plan.

Well just took it off the smoker @204 . Felt ready to pull. Can't wait until dinner. Plus cornbread in the oven
