I light my fire and plug everything in right after that. It depends on the temp you are looking for. On a low and slow I let the digi Q get the egg up to temp.Extra Large, Large, and Mini. Tucker, GA

Cooking at 250 you will have plenty of time to sleep. It may take close to 20 hours to cook that thing! If you are running out of time you can foil and speed the process tomorrow. You are nowhere near the stall yet. Let the digiq do the work and go sleep! I do have a maverick on my nightstand just in case when I do overnighters...Extra Large, Large, and Mini. Tucker, GA

I do the same as RLeeper. For a low and slow I light the fire for about 5 min, then put on my plate setter, grid, and hook up the digiQ and let it get up to temp. My first pork butts I did (two 8.5 lbs) only took me 9 hrs at 250 to get to 200 internal temp.Houston, TX

Just another bit of info...I clip my thermo to the BGE dome thermo and not the grateExtra Large, Large, and Mini. Tucker, GA

I wondered about that. Ended up clipping it next to the meat on the grate above the drip pan. I still worried that I'd pass 190 while I slept so at 11pm I dropped the pit temp down to 225 and went to bed. Woke up at 4am and checked and meat was up to 187. Slept another hour and came back @ 5 to 185 so I bumped pit up to 240 and went back to bed. At 6:40 I came back out and the DigiQ alarm sounded as I walked up to the egg letting me know we'd reached 190. Wrapped in HDAF, a towel, then into the cooler. Pulled it at 11am and it was GREAT. I think it had just a tad too much smoke but I'm my biggest critic.
Brisket will be going on this Friday for Saturday's game in Knoxville against the Vols.
RLeeper - thanks for all your help.
GO DAWGS!!!

What store? Rockwood just hit 24 stores in ATL and I'm trying to follow-up with the managers & as many new customers as I can reach. It's a test run, so if you like it, make sure you tell the proprietors.

Ace Hardware on Holcomb Bridge Rd. in Norcross. I was the first Rockwood customer. Had just opened a bag of Wicked Good last weekend so I didn't try the Rockwood on this cook but will use it for the Brisket Fri/Sat and told manager I'd give him a review.
