Yes the 129f of 240f was from the open pit & dripped some mop sauce on the probe.

Now @ hour 4.

[johnd49455]

[johnd49455]

Hour 7 & now in plateau for the last hour, even lost a few degrees. Butt is developing a nice bark.

Sigh... I have houseguests this AM to cook for...nothing THAT good tho. Just finished the bacon, waiting for the sluggards to stir so I can take the egg orders. How mundane. Ah well, I'd rather be cooking than not!

hr 6 152* hr 7 149* , did you move your probe around? Looks fantastic!!

 

[hawgheaven]

Lookin' mighty good John... and I love that stash of wood you have there... that just gave me wood envy...

 

[johnd49455]

Did not move the probe. Still in plateau it has been wavering about 3 degrees in the last 2 hours. I have heard it can do that in plateau. Now it is back to 150*. Just looked again & its 151*

 

[richtee]

Wow...a Knightly effort fit for a king! Or, maybe a Queen too...heheh.. ;{)

 

[meowey]

Looking good!

Take care, have fun, and do good!

Regards,

Meowey

 

[johnd49455]

JohnD ............

Awsome post so far, cant wait to see your final product. Very OTBS like .......... You ARE worthy!!!

 

[johnd49455]

well just over 10 hours now & temp has risen to 161*



I have never foiled before but on the encouragement of tonto & meowey's sticky i will be soon foiling that butt at which time I will be putting on some wings for lunch.

G'Morning, John.

Kudos to you on a a very Knightly effort. Everything looks absolutely perfect! Thanks for the excellent plat-by-play.

Cheers,
Brian

 

[johnd49455]

11 hours now & it is like this butt hit another plateau

 

[johnd49455]

Somebody stop me I beginning to want to crank up the temp.

 

[brianj517]

Patience, my friend...All good things come to those who wait. You're doing everything just right...Crack open another icy beverage and relax... your supper will be right on time...I promise!

Cheers,
Brian

 

[brianj517]

This looks like a good time to wrap with HD foil and a little apple juice. Leave it alone for about an hour or so and check temps then... that should step things up a bit and prevent over drying.

Cheers,
Brian
