In at 11:00 AM, should be done in time for midnight!

Up to 153*F by 6:10, -9 degrees out...

Looks good, it'll be worth the wait I'm sure.

About 164...-11*F outside.

Don't think you're going to come close to that Midnight target  

 

[dert]

I think I've hit the "stall", currently employing the "Texas Crutch" and foiled them...

Not sure there's enough BTU's though...

Nothing wrong with that.   I probably would have actually turned the temp down a little bit and then gone to bed.   "You don't want to be ready in 12 hours?  FINE, I'll cook you for 18 to 20 then  :)   :)

 

[dert]

Out of the oven just before 12:00AM@ 202*F-













Coated in some of the famous finishing sauce...



Pulled pork Sammie's...

Even better than 3 months ago...

I see these were $1.79/lb in Dec, now they're up to $2.29/lb in March??!! $2.35 in September...

I bought some at $1.50lb and got some 3 weeks later and they were up to $2.14lb. Crazy price swings lately.
