Put my first smoke on 1 am. Boston butt,mes 30 black,amnps half filled with hickory and apple,et 732. Sitting on 140 after 6hrs. Had a nice dark bark wen I opened up to put probe in at 5. :yahoo:
 
Welcome to SMF! Please post a picture of your finished butt. Everyone on the forum likes the q-view pictures. They will even give you a little arm twisting if you forget.
 
8 hrs in. just wrapped it n foil with Apple juice and bump temp to 260. 165 n holdin. :biggrin:
 
sounds like you've got it all under control.  Are you ready for the stall?  are you thinking of foiling or no.  The last few ive done I haven't foiled, I really have gotten hooked on the bark.  don't forget the pics!!!!
 
:yahoo: She maybe slowly coming out of the stall, 171 degrees now. Yep, Covered it in foil with Apple juice when I bumped her up to 260 earlier. Had a nice black bark even at 4 hours in. They need to bottle that smell comin out the vent!
 
Ok she has come up,a whole degree in one hour. 172 now. Maybe I need to search for temp probe placement. Patience is bitter ,but the fruit is sweet. :devil:
