Later today I'll be adding a ham and stalk of bolenga for us at work tomorrow. Fried bologna for breakfast and ham for lunch. Figure I'll add them around when I wrap the butts.
 
Bout 5 hours in temp 150ish. Smoker been 230 as fire burns down then up to 250ish with fresh preheated split. Could hold a little tighter by damper adjustments but working on a 27x30 shop build at same time. Never really seen any better results with a tighter temp tolerance hold when I kept adjusted.

Little mustard and rubs. Same rub as butts on the ham with cpl pinches added brown sugar. Bologna has little of butt rub but lot more cajun and jerk.

Its dang good. I'll admit I prefer what is called cracker bologna for my self. Smaller diameter so more smoke flavor per bite. Guys at work like the bigger chub. Fried with fried egg and piece of cheese.
 
Just checked the butts. Right at the 200 mark. Pulling from the bone and still just a little firm in the middle so chk again lookin for 205. Ham and bologna moving along. Notice the fat dripping on the the ham.
