in Pork
I have 18.21 pounds of Pork Shoulder/Pork Butt's one is 9 1/2 to 10 pounds and the other the balance 8 to 8 1/2 I'm thinking of putting the bigger one on at 10:00 and the smaller at 11:00PM tonight at 2:50 dome, I need them on the table around 4:30 tomorrow. My set up is a XL, plate setter and thermo pen, no maverick or Digi Q. I trimmed themed then mustard and Dizzy Dust then injected each with a 1/4 bottle of marinade.  Wish me well!

    It's  my first ever Low and Slow, they are both on and I seem to have a handle on 250 dome.

    I just opened the egg for the first time at 8:30 AM and the bigger piece was at 170 and the smaller one at 160. The dome was at 250 when I put the big one on at 10:15 PM and the small at 11:15 PM and I thought I stabilized it as it was at 250 when I went to bed at 1:00 PM  when I checked at 3:30 AM the dome was at 300 so I shut it down and it seems to be holding around 250. The bigger piece is at the back of the XL and the small towards the front (I wonder should I switch them around)

    You can certainly swap them - very likely the back of your egg is burning hotter.

    I still have six hours before I want to serve and I believe I am in a bit of a stall at 170/160 no foil. I assume I am plugging away and really don't want it done to far in advance. I am running at 230 dome right now does it sound like I am on track, I would like to pull it off the grill at 200 IT then FTC until around 4 PM
