I just got my egg on Friday and on Friday night around midnight I had my first pork butt on the grates.....It was an 8 pound piece of tail, and it cooked really quick. I had a hard time stabilizing the egg to 250, so it settled on 300. The rear end took only 6 hours to cook (internal temp 205)...I let it rest for 3 hours then I pulled it....It was super easy to pull and it was some of the best pulled pork I have had.
I am looking to build a table now, and have been reviewing all of the posts..
BTW: I made a great rub and injection. Used apple and hickory to smoke....YUM!

Good job. You are braver than me on the first cook. I just got mine and did some chicken for just me, my wife and daughter.

Congrats - I got my XL just a few weeks ago - 3 days after setup I did double pork butts for a party - 8 hours at 240 degrees with applewood smoke chips. The people were high fiving me the pulled pork was so good. Very pleased with this BGE!

Adam, Welcome to the forum. I am wondering if you have checked the calibration of your dome thermometer yet. Tim
