First pork butt on BGE

Did my first cook on my XL this past weekend. 7# pork butt along with some skillet cornbread while the butt was resting.
12 hrs. low and slow at 240. Wrapped at 9 hrs. with some apple juice.

That's real nice!  It looks like it should have pulled well. How'd  you serve it?

Love the cook, especially the corn bread.  Here is my favorite easy skillet corn bread recipe.  Its great done on the egg.  I also like to throw in a handful of chopped jalapenos.

1 box of Jiffy (1 and 1/2 cups)

1 cup of yellow cake mix

2 eggs

1 cup of whole milk

3-4 TBS of margarine blended into mix

1-2 TBS of canola oil in skillet

Bake at 400 deg for 15 minutes.

It was a little light on the smoke for my taste. I need to get chunks, I only have chips at the moment.
It was fall apart tender. I shredded it with my hands.
We made a steak last night, cranked it up and got a great sear on it.
Looks like we'll try pizza on Sunday and next weekend I'm diving in and doing an overnighter with a packer brisket.

Boo-yah....that looks awesome, and I am loving that cornbread in the CI Skillet.  Speaking of CI, I picked up a large CI skillet at a garage sale this weekend for $2.00!!  I am thinking Skillet Cornbread this weekend!

That looks about perfect.  Very nicely done.  Definitely switch to chunks for better smoke flavor.  Makes a huge difference.
