Good luck with the burn. I did one I got from Costco a few weeks ago. Never did reach that plateau at 170. I took it off when it hit 195 let it rest for an hour and then pulled it.

You can never tell how a chunk of meat will smoke they all are differant and the meat might or might not stall it could smoke fast or slow. So count your blessings it went fast and not slow. I have had they go to 16 hours before and some 7-8 hours there are alot of varibles. Wind, temp outside, and smoker it'self

Well here is the end product....i was scared it would not be right, since it cooked so fast.....It is delicious(SP)

Looks great - glad yours went quickly - I had one stall on me last nite for 3 hours and thought it was never going to finish - turned out great though
