<p />I'm trying to do a photo of this. Did my first 7.5# Pork butt. Took 18 hours. This is a "before" shot.

    docrjh,
    Nice looking roast. You did not tell us at what temp & what time you started to cook, also did you use any wood for added smoke.[p]Earl

    Earl,
    I started this blade-in roast at 11 pm last nite and I was somewhat concerned as the wind was whipping pretty good. I thought the temp had stabilized at 220 or so. When I woke at 2 am it was dead calm out and the temp was 350. I don't know how long it had been that way but I was able to get it back down. It huffed along real well today until about 4 pm when I open the vents again to finish it off. I did use one piece of hickory in center of the started fire, a little larger than a golf ball. I could use more next time for sure. The pull was tender and moist (and well received, I might add, as we had 6 extra guests tonight).[p]Regards,
    docrjh
