Just fired up my egg that I got in Ocala for the first time since I got home with it. I am going to do an overnighter on a butt.
I will use DrBBQ's Bonesmoker's rub which is great stuff but to really learn it's potential you have to take one of Ray's classes.
My plan is to go indirect at 220 for 15 hours or till it is done.
I am useing Royal Oak lump and Jack Daniels wood chips.

    Charles in SC, I hope you're not planning to work tomorrow. Once I start pulling (and nibbling) I find it hard to do anything else. Takes me about 3 hours to pull a 10# butt - 20 minutes for pulling and the rest for nibbling. Hint: eat the bark. You can tell your wife that you only want the tender inner pork in the final product. Some folks actually put the bark in their pulled pork but my wife really doesn't like it so I oblige her by "removing" it (wink, wink).

    Charles in SC,
    I can't figure how you made it this long without firing that baby up! Good luck and happy Egging!

    Charles in SC,[p]You've got something on your chin Charles.
    Just in case you're not using a polder or something like that, the temp guage on the egg needs to be around 250 to be cooking at 220.[p]Egg on.
    BTW, for those of you that don't know Charles, he's a very good competition cook from South Carolina, using the name B.S. Pitmeister.
