Morning All:
Started two butts last night at about 8:00pm. Total weight of the two was about 16.5#, however one was quite a bit smaller than the other.
Here they are right after I put them on. The smaller one got DP Red Eye Express and the large one got DP Shakin' the Tree.
I had the BBQ Guru meat probe in the larger one and the Maverick ET73 meat probe in the small one, with the ET73 other probe in the thermo hole. Wasn't expecting rain last night, but always like to keep it covered just in case.
Here they are after about 2.5 hours (just before I went to bed).
Got up this morning and checked the temps and the small one was at 195, let it ride until it reached 200 at about 8:00am. The large one was only to 185 by then. Just before taking off the small one.
At about 10:00am the large one reached 199 to 201 every place I checked and the probes went in & out like a hot knife through butter, so off came the large one. It was difficult getting it off as it wanted to fall apart. Here is a close up of a piece that fell off and the bark.
They are now wrapped in two layers of Aluminum foil and a towel resting in a small cooler for me to pull later today. The in-laws are coming in tonight so they will get to have some of "Jay's butt" again.

What do you mean "will" have me cooking all the meals...about the only things she cooks now is warming up leftovers (and occasionally some of those nasty veggies that she eats). :laugh: Hopefully she won't read this post.
Have a GREAT day!

The guru was set at about 250 initially, but I dropped it to 225 when I went to bed. That is the Maverick ET73 pit probe in the dome hole, the guru pit probe is attached to the grate (see the first picture, right side). I did use a platesetter with the feet up. I use a disposable aluminum drip pan that I line with foil to make sure the butts have foil under them completely and everything can drop into the pan.
Ask all the questions you want, that is the only way to find out the answers.
Have a GREAT day!

Shakin' the Tree is by far one of our favorite flavors. It goes so well with just about anything.

Goes really well on a fried egg sandwich.
Now you're sounding like my in-laws when they come down. All they talk about is "Jay's butt" :laugh: Got to keep the in-laws happy! :evil:

I would send the Ranch jet to get you but there's been some sort of snag in the funding department. Nigeria keeps telling me to send them money in order for them to send money to me. I think NOT! And the Irish Lottery was a bit strange to start with because I didn't even purchase a ticket. And you already know about the Texas Lottery Commission's rule about having to come to Austin to collect the funds.
They sure make it difficult to live big these days.
So as it stands right now, my jet is still in the works.
We will look forward to seeing y'all.

I'm not promising we will be there, but we are trying to find a way to pull it off. We seem to be having the same "funding" issues as you are...don't know why those Nigerians, Irish and Lotto people aren't cooperating. :laugh:
Have a GREAT day!
