Was not real sure if I should start it before going to bed or get up early. Choose before bed. Drum was puffing nasty smoke for quite awhile. Once it settled I put the five and a half pounder on it.
Almost there. Zeroed the min/max when I put the meat on. Low was 177, probably from the meat being cold when I put it on. High was 268. Filled the basket with Mesquite chunk charcoal. Grabbed a few chunks out of all the "flavored" bags. I also put a bark peeled cherry split stood up in the center of the basket.
I've rested for round four hours personally, I've heard others say they've went a little longer. That's a great option Bear give ya, they heat up real nice... I just toss mine in the crock pot with a little Apple juice !
Last couple of butts I did stalled for close to 3 hours, was afraid that was going to happen again. Last butt we did we ended up eating at 8 p.m. [emoji]128556[/emoji]

The first butt I did started around 6am we ate about 9 my parents were over for dinner and they almost left before it was done.:biggrin: do you keep a record of your smokes?
That was one mighty tasty butt. The bark was a lot less chewy than when we used the BGE or the MES. Both of us liked it better after it sat in the crock pot with apple juice...Thanks for the tip...
