A lot of first's for this one but the best we have had. Started the butts at 10:00 last night . hit the plateau at 150 internal and held for 3 hours. Never had one let alone both plateau that low. Had dual controls for meat and temp and both were within 1 or 2 degrees. These really barked out nice and were probabaly the best out of all the butts we've cooked.
Ready to pull at 17 hours and 195 internal temp.
cooler'd one and ready to pull this one. Lots of bark for the beans.
Pulled,, These were the best we've had and no idea why they took so long to get to temp.

Good looking pork, Pat. I did four six-pounders over the Fourth holiday and they took almost as long, per-pound, as yours. Never had them go so long, but they definitely seemed to be better for the long cook.

Looks great Pat.I bet you got some happy neighbors :woohoo:
-
Those look pretty good. Must be something with the butts. Last weekend I did 2 eight pounders and it took a lot longer than I wanted. Talked to some other people and they had similar results.

Save me a sandwich and some beans...I will be over in a few...hours...boy those look good... :silly:

Very nice bark.
What did you use to regulate the temp?

Nice Pat!! I'm threw with big butts. From now on I'll stick with the small, firm ones. Two small butts beat one big one any day. More surface area for the bark to develope and we all know that's where the flavor is. If you remember this spring I made a jerk injection and really didn't do much to ramp up the flavor but the smaller butts with a good stiff rub really give more flavor.

Great job Sir. Patience pays off every time.
-
Eggscellent.
I am 12 hours in to a Butt cook, 2ea 8.5lb-ers. -
Let us know how they turn out.

Gotta be careful around here. If I say small butt the wife Knows I'm not talking abut her. :woohoo:
-
Thanks Bama. The times were weird but the result was worth the wait.
-
Thats usually a 12 to 16 hour cook but like waiting for the wife to get dressed to go out, it's done when it's done :S :S

Was wondering if you had a temp probe a grill level? Doing a butt since 10 last night and dome and thermapen reading 250 and grill level probe reading 220-215.
