First Butt - Success!

Hi All,
I finished my first butt, and I must say it exceeded all of my expectations!
8.5 pounds, cooked for 16 hours at 225 dome, pulled at 200 internal. I started it late evening on Friday and it was done for dinnertime Saturday.
Thumbs up from all guests!

Looks great and sounds like a successful first butt. Good job. I've done a number of butts at 225 with great results and some very long cook times. Most recently have bumped up the temp to 275 or so with good results as well.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

16 hrs????? Wow that seems like a very long time for a 9 lb butt even at 225. Looks good though

A butt takes as long to cook as it takes. Reason you have to have a Thermopen to check it, course you can pull the bone and if it falls out it's done. Looks like you did a good job, congratulations!

Nice going, eh! And, great call for keeping it on the egg until you hit the right temp!
