Pork butt today

[Twil6]

Here we go!

I also put my WSM charcoal ring in my firebox to test it out. I had been using too old grates to create a v-shape.

So far so good. Been running between 250-275 with a few spikes up to 290, got my next split ready

Looks like a great start!
I like the idea of using the WSM ring for your charcoal basket.
Looking forward to seeing the finale!

Doing a Pork Butt here today also. Only 6lb, but we're a small unit

Love the MES, but I"m actively fighting the impulse to go buy a new smoker....still researching but pray for my wallet!

Edit: finally got propane for my torch, so back to using the A-maze-n. Nice TBS going and no chips to mess with.

This was at the 4 he mark. No crack in the fat yet. So just spritzed it for the first time and shut the lid.

Looking good so far

Looking good. Are you wrapping at the stall or will you ride it out?

Just wrapped it at 164ish about 6 hours. Had the bark I was looking for.

Another thing that is helpful is a smaller ash can. This one fits right under the firebox, so I have been able to dump my ash to keep a clean burn on this longer smoke
