    MickeyT.,[p] Once again, that is for sure, a nice butt you have going.
    We have not done one in awhile, so after looking at your picture, it will be done soon.[p]Earl

    Dr. Chicken,[p]Thanks a lot man. My success with the egg is primarily due to this forum and it's many followers. I have never done a butt before and it was by far (steaks included) the tastiest dinner I have cooked so far. I pulled it Saturday night and used my FoodSaver to pack in individual sammich portions. Pulled a couple out on Sunday, dropped them in boiling water and the rest is history. To quote TimM. "Went quicker than free money" :>) Hard to believe it was so tasty for being an inexpensive pc. of meat.[p]Mick[p]P.S. I will be asking for skinlees pheasant cooking directions later in the week, as a friend dropped one off for me yesterday.

    Scott S,[p]During the cook, foil works well in the drip pan to help make cleanup easier. The meal is cooked uncovered, resting in the v-rack over the drip pan. Upon completion of the cook, the meal can be tented in foil to help hold the heat until serving time. I prefer not to wrap pulled pork in foil as this makes the nice chew of the crust a bit mushy.[p]A polder type thermometer is not a necessity and the cook can be done without it. It is convenient as its use adds the dimension of internal temperature to the look and feel of the meat when judging the doneness of a meal.[p]Spin
