Well i had a great time with my first smoke this weekend.  I got a little worried a few times during the process, but stuck it out and everything turned out great.  (though i did obliterate a couple hotdogs that i forgot about)

It was about a 7.5lb butt.  I rubbed it the night before and this is what it looked like in the morning.

Unfortunately the pictures I took between here and about two hours in didn't come out very well.  

So about two hours into the smoke (i think)

Finally I got a picture with some smoke in it!

I guess it must have been getting dark because at this point the pictures got really bad, so the next one is after the rest!

I couldn't have been happier.  Well gremlins did run off with some of my bark...

Anyway it pulled apart extremely easily.  I did it by hand.

It was delicious, used a finishing sauce and ate tons.  

Thanks to everyone here on SMF my first smoke was a great success. 
 
Thanks!! 

I tweaked my rub a bit and rubbed down a 9.5lb butt tonight.  

Made some finishing sauce and i'm all ready to smoke tomorrow!
