Dilemma...No Egg Available for Pulled Pork
I was thinking I'd smoke the butt on the weber for a few hours then put it in the oven to finish. Your thoughts? What should the settings on the weber look like. I've only ever grilled on a kettle, never did any low and slows.

Use a roasting rack with water and create indirect. And you cat offset your fire from food.
You'll need an oven thermometer. Good luck!

Two suggestions;1. Take your Maverick, and if you don't have one make sure you have a grid safe analog thermo. Cook at 250 or so, watch where you put the thermo, kettle heat not as even as an egg.2. On the kettle, indirect heat, push all the coals to one side and put a drip pan under the shoulder on the cool side. Check the temp often and keep the drip pan wet, rotate the meat to cook evenly.Good idea to move it from the kettle to the oven to finish, after maybe 3 hours, not much smoke getting in after that anyway.Oven temp at 250 until fork twist is done, or internal close to 200 if you have a thermo.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

If you have a thermometer with a 5" stem, you can stick it in the top vent an inch or two and it becomes your dome thermo. You have a top vent and a bottom vent just like an egg. I would try going 50% closed on the bottom vents to start. Adjust as needed.
You will need to check on it every 60-90 minutes to keep water in the bath and if you're stuck using briquettes, you'll need to knock the ash off and/or add charcoal and smoking wood.
Good luck! The Weber ain't no Egg, but it's not a piece of crap either.

Thanks for all of the tips. Sounds like I was on the right track. I'll definitely be taking my maverick. I wonder if the egg thermometer would work as a dome thermometer in the weber. I don't see why not. I was planning on indirect, but good call on the water pan.
Would you guys foil it to finish it in the oven?Mark Annville, PA -
You can upgrade the briquettes to lump too.

I'll definitely be using lump. The butt will ne injected, so between the water pan and injection there should be plenty of moisture.Mark Annville, PA

A lot of excellent pork butts have been cooked on a kettle, I think you will do fine. This is a long thread, but very valuable and worth the read for doing a long cook on a kettle:

I actually prefer next day pork butt. Although I think I'm so concerned that everyone is enjoying it that I get overly critical on the day of.

I offered to cook the night before and reheated in the crock pot, but the guys said they want to smell it cooking while we work. To me, that is torture, but I'm just a guest so I do what I'm told.Mark Annville, PA

There is an attachment for the Weber called the "Smokenator" that does pretty good. http://www.smokenator.comXL BGE - Small BGE - A few Komodo Kamado Serious Big Bad 42sFollow me on Instagram: @SSgt93
