Lookin' good so far, David!  Hang in there, I've been there too - the meat won't cooperate, the stall lasts forever, and the missus thinking about ordering out.

BTW, Bill --that PP pizza looks awesome!

wife starved out. put pizza bites in the toaster oven..but i'm still smoken. that's why you use temp instead of time.

We smoked one last week that took about 16 hours. It weighed about 6 pounds. It was worth the wait.

My last two took 20 hours!!! Must be the new nomencalture, fancier names take longer to cook!

I have had  Butt that took 20 hours....had over a 4 hour stall.  I guess we could call them Mule Butts!  Stubborn ones too!

this was a little over a 4 hour stall. about the time the cold front got here.lol temp in the BGE stayed right where i had it though. it is now 194 deg at 14 hours. i sure do like the BGE this is the first smoke in it that i have had to refuel twice. it has held 230 to 240 all day long with not much adjustment. in the future you feel the need to call them Mule Butts. you have to send me some.

happy smoken.

i guess i'm glad i didn't get my UDS finished. i would have blamed it for the long stall. it is going to be a nice UDS with ammo box instead of a mail box for the AMNPS
