First Butt is on the Smoker!!! 10/8

[gators2000]

Decided to foil.  Rain is holding off for now...

Looking good

I think the foil is a good choice,with this being your first butt.

Can't wait to see this bad-boy pulled

Butt's at about 170 and taking forever to move from there... 

Wings are done and gone.  Kids loved them.  Pics... 

Can anyone read his shirt.  He's 5 and put away 7 wings!

 

[raptor700]

The wings look perfect, I don't blame him for throwing down on them!

Raining but determined to finish on the smoker....  We'll see.

That's right!

A little rain can't stop a dedicated smoker

I hope it got past the stall, Gators2000.  If it was 170 @ 7:30, I think you could be in for a long night.

How did it turn out?

 

[gators2000]

It came out great.  Took forever to get from 180 to 200+, but I stuck with it and was patient.  It was about 10 hours for a 6.5 pound butt (does that sound about right?).  Cooked it yesterday for a party this afternoon.  Everyone thought it was awesome!  Great sandwitches.   Thanks for following along!

Last night after it rested (not a great pic but it was late)...

Thats's some PPP!

Nicely done Gators! Well worth the wait by the looks of it. Now you're practically a butt master.
