Well got out my ECB converted to Charcoal smoker out to attempt my first 7lb butt and a batch of Dutch's beans.
Got my temps up to 235 around 8:30 a.m and put the butt on for the day.
I hit my stall at 147 for about 3 hours and then it went to 165 pretty quick. Got it wrapped in foil and bumped my temps up to about 250-260 for the rest of the cook.
Ended up hitting 197 around 8p.m and tossed it in the cooler for an hour.
Dinner was a bit later than I thought but well worth the wait. The beans were excellent. I even made a non bean eater go back for his third helping.
One thing I need to work on is how much chips to feed the smoker. The pork was excellent but a bit too smoky for my taste.
Thanks to all here who have posted great info for me read and learn from.
