Here in S/W MI., 10 mile off the big lake I've learned to plan around the weather. Had a hankering for some PP so I rubbed-down this nice little 9# butt w/ mustard, brown sugar and good dusting of Tony's and put it in the frig over-nite. Put it on the counter at 0400hrs to rest and went out to the garage to get set up, why didn't I do that the nite before, dah!! By 0600hrs. my Pit Boss 820 was smoking and up to temp. Left her on smoke for the 1st hour than cranked it to 250* and set my count down timer for 4 hrs. No spritzing, I just let her bark-up real nice. After the 4hrs. I put it in the finishing pan and I.D.'ed the money muscle for the probe and covered her and back on the grill, still at 250* and plugged in the wireless. After a grand total of 7 & 1/2hrs. she hit 205* and back to the house she went. After an hour I pulled the foil to find my best butt yet. Sure am glad I planned ahead.
