my first long lo-n-slo tonight with a butt. Gonna plan on putting it on about 11-12 and take it off tomorrow around 5-6. Gonna cook at about 200*. Any other recommendations? And yes, I am also gonna take a gander at the DP instructions for cooking it...

    GriffinGaDawg,
    I doubt it will be done by 06:00 AM. Mine last Saturday took 12 hours @ 250-275 to reach the reccomended internal temp of 200. If correct the bone will pull out easily, dry & clean.

    GriffinGaDawg,[p] yep bring the temp up to around 230-250 Dome temp of 200 will bring the grate temp below your meat target/

    GriffinGaDawg,
    i might crank that up to 225, maybe even 250 as its easier to keep the fire going thru the night, i dont see any reason to cook one below 225 in the egg and there isnt much difference cooking it at 250 except that the cook is a little shorter. gives you more foil time after the cook with it resting in a cooler

    you can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

    GriffinGaDawg,
    I would go 240-250 dome. This will get the butt in the safe zone faster. No real need to cook slower. This will give you a 225-235 grate temp. Wrap in foil and place in cooler for a couple hours to rest after you pull from egg.
    Have fun,
    Darian
    Thank you,

    GriffinGaDawg, also check out the Whiz's instructions. I did two 7.5 lb butts last weekend. I had some temp fluctuations between 235* and 270*, but it probably averaged about 250*, and took 14 hrs. I started and 11pm Friday and took them off at 1pm Saturday, after which 3 racks of ribs went on for the rest of the afternoon.
    After 3+ hrs in an ice chest the butts fell apart when I tried to pick them up after unwrapping them. So I just rolled them into a foil pan for pulling.
