Another first timer...
So, took my new Large BGE out for a real spin this weekend. (Only previously tried some small stuff on it over the last 2 weeks) Decided on a 3LB pork shoulder/butt (bone in) and some pork back ribs. Kept pit at 220-225. Hit a stall on the butt around 171-173 and it seemed like an eternity. Everytime I wanted to mess with the thing, I'd come read these forums and assure myself all was well. Anyway, almost 7 hours later (for a 3LBer!) she finally hit the right internal temp and I pulled it off. Let it set for 30 minutes and then made some pulled pork sandwiches and it was fantastic. Family gave it a big thumbs up.
Ribs took 5 hours. They were the winners in the house. My wife, who is not even a fan of ribs said they were wonderful. She's quite the picky eater too. My daughter, who is home from college, told me she would visit more often now. Ha!
Anyway, thanks to everyone on this forum. Been reading it for a while. Helped me through the process for sure. Attached is a pic about half way through.

Welcome and I'm glad you're creating good BBQ. If I could only put brussel sprouts in the egg and get the wife to like them....
