Drunken Mistake - Lol

so... One too many adult beverages as I waited for the pit temp to drop (yep.. Over shot the temp also blamed on the drinks lol)
i finally out my pork butt on last night at about 1130-12.. Woke up this morning around 715... Pork but is rolling right along at 165 internal and pit temp is pretty stable. And then I remember, I never put the heat deflector in lol.. I've been cooking raised direct all night long. Doesn't look like much flare ups or issues thus far.. So we will see how she turns out.. I did however just add the deflector to finish.
Anyone ever done this? Lol

Way to man up and if the piggy is doing well then you dodged a bullet. Better to be lucky than good any day.
Haven't had that type event happen but I have totally forgotten (until the next AM) that I cooked and consumed a batch of ABT's. No left-overs and no outward indicators of any cook even happening. (And yes I was well into the adult supervisory beverages.)Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

I've had a few frosty cold adult beverages while egg' but haven't cook anything long enough to effect the outcome. Next weekend will be my test as we are planning on a Boston Butt! We shall see, thanks for the warning!! LOLRetired Navy, LBGE

I bet you will have a little bit of "leather" on the bottom and the rest will be great. I would wrap it in a couple layers of foil to attempt to soften it up.

I really hope this becomes the new way to do pulled pork. Get drunk, don't look at temp, wake up the next morning to the smell of awesomeness. I think you're onto something....

If worse comes to worse the bottom of the butt will be hard and crusty, but the pork on the inside will be fine. In my beginner days I attempted to smoke a butt on a Weber kettle direct and that's what I experienced.~ John - https://www.instagram.com/hoosier_egger

Look up Lexington BBQ, they cook on a grid and have NO deflector. They just have a bed of coals from hardwood logs. Oh heck here's a link.http://www.traveladdicts.net/2015/12/lexington-barbecue-north-carolina.html

I agree. Way to man up and admit you made an "oops". And I applaud you even more for covering afterwards by saying you are testing the theory it is really really hard to mess up a pork butt. Well done!!
To combat the bottom which is probably really dry, instead of wrapping the whole thing, I wonder if you put it in a pan for the rest of the cook if it would not save the bottom by soaking in its rendered fat. I do not think I would wrap the whole thing. Not sure. Thinking as I type.
Carry on!!--------------------------------------------------

Nope, I have never done this. I try not to drink till the food is on. Looks like you your drop pan helped with going a little indirect. Looks like you also went far side down so you should be good.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

Got a kick out of this post. Your pork looks like it survived well enough, those wings that were 'shared'...... heck, they could be used as charcoal for the next 'cook'...... nice, real nice.
Portsmouth, VA. LBGE. Missed all this fun till now. Update: Minimax added to arsenal. Hint, don't take off camping for a month after getting a LBGE, and leave it home, it'll cost you plenty. -
No worries, it'll still be better than a perfectly cooked brisket.

Man last week I did 3 in a row and on the third shoulder I reloaded the charcoal and forgot to put the setter back in. About three hours later my neighbor just heard me swearing at the ground when I came outside to check the temp and saw it laying on the ground. He was laughing his @$$ off.

What @Mickey isn't telling everyone was he was attempting to make high quality lump from chicken. It was an eggsperiment.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

Funny - it will probably turn out better than you're predicting!“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

Waiting for the outcome!!! But it is totally yummy when pulled and mixed in a finishing sauce together! Probably won't know the difference...
