XL BGE...THANKS TO ALL[p]Thank you TNW, Virginian, Drbbq and the other wonderful and knowledgeable elder eggers!! My 1st time out was a 8# butt. It turned out fantastic even though I started fire wrong! I learned about the false reading from the fire starters. The Lord was with me and after 15 1/2 hours pulled at 170 and wrapped for 3 hours. The wife and in-laws were shocked. It is true that the egg makes goof ups great. Used Char-Broil hickory chunks(dry). I only used ONE POUND of BGE lump. I was lucky. Had BGR lumps bigger than daisy top; some looked like 7" of a 2x4!! Yes, I filled egg upp to 1/2 up fire ring. Apparently I was watching the huge chunks burn and not the lump. Best smoked flavor in a butt I have ever tasted; and I haved tasted a lot as a KCBS judge. Now wife is drooling for the turkey she already bought. Many thanks again. See you @ Eggtoberfest!!!
