Hi all, I have really been enjoying looking through everyone's posts. There is a TON of good information and talent in here and a bunch of folks I believe I could hang out with 
. I have been grilling for years, but finally got a LBGE a year and a half ago and I truly love it! My wife, mother and mother-in-law all went in together for my birthday. I keep telling them it is the best present I have ever gotten. I also received a small BGE that my neighbor gave me! It is an OLD one. He used it one time and never lit it again. It sat on his covered deck for at least 20 years.
Enough with all that--thought I would share a picture of my latest pulled pork. It was about a 9 pounder that I coated with Kosher salt, yellow mustard, Butt Rub and turbano sugar and a little Cane Syrup made by a relative. I kept it smoking between 250-270 degrees with hickory and apple, using the Canadian Nature's Own lump charcoal. Fat cap down. I set the thermometer for an internal temp of 203 degrees. Mr. Butt was done in about 11-12 hours. I then wrapped him in foil. then an old towel and placed in a cooler for several hours. He was pretty good. This one was a gift to a favorite aunt who is home from an incredibly long hospital stay. She was most happy with it.
Thanks,
Mitch

nice looking pork butt!!There is an ongoing (for some anyway) on fat-cap up or down.. I always do it UP and let all of those rendered juices seep back down into the meat making it (IMO) more juicy. YMMV...And glad to have another participant.

Thanks guys for the welcome! As far as which side I do the fat cap--up or down, I do both ways. This particular butt had a fattier cap so I decided to pop him down. You guys wanted shots of the old egg, so I have added them.
The story on the free Egg, it was his retirement present (I felt guilty) and he decided to smoke a turkey on it. Anyway he lit it, got it going and plopped the bird on. He left the cap off and the damper wide open and left to go answer the door bell. He got tied up talking to someone and when he returned, we all know what he found. A 750+ degree Egg and turkey that was now a black hokey puck. He said after that he never had the nerve to try it again so it sat. I had to replace the gasket and repair the hinge as a rivet rusted through. I thought a smoked turkey was a mighty ambitious project to start with

@mitch2264 It would be a nice gesture on your part to smoke the old boy a turkey.
Are would that be showing him up?
Sorrt of like when my lawn mower wouldn't start I got frustrated and put it out on the curb and I went out and bought a brand new one. When I came home my neighbor was using my old lawn mower that I couldn't start to cut his lawn."I'm stupidest when I try to be funny"

@TigerTony that is as absolutely great idea!! Thank you! He would not take any money for it and I was trying to figure something out. I was thinking about smoking a butt and delivering it, but your idea is even better!
Thank you all for the warm welcome! Most appreciated!

Dobie--you can't rush these things. I will be the first to tell you that I am slow. I eventually get to the party, I just tend to take the scenic route.
Thanks again everyone! Smoke bird it shall be! Now, to figure out timing --it is obvious I am indeed slow.
