XL is EGGMAZING!!

I was having 20 people over for a post Christening dinner to celebrate  my  Granddaughter's Baptism.  Last night I decided to put on a 9 pound Boston butt.  I loaded up the XL with Rockwood and lit it at 10:30pm and got it stable at 11:00pm at 250 degrees.  I was going to stay up to watch the news and SNL but fell asleep. I woke up at 5:15 am and ran out to the deck in a panic.  I never even hooked up my Maverick.  I lifted the lid and there sat my pork butt, ,  the dome temp was still 250 degrees and the internal temp was 132 degrees.  I starting mopping it around 10 am and then again when I  returned from church.  At 1:30 I removed the platesetter and Boston butt.the internal temp was 192.  I opened the vents and put in the cast iron grates.  Within 5 minutes  I was at 500 and did some burgers and dogs.  Almost all the dogs  and most of the burgers were left but he pork butt was devoured with coleslaw , BBQ sauce and Hawaiian rolls.  Three observations.  Eggs are awesome!,  while I like Turbo butts, low and slow with a mop creates the best tasting pork and bark and lastly, the being able to convert from low and slow to cast owns high temp grilllng in 5 minutes is great!

About half when I started the high temp grilling.

You are correct on all 3 observations - plus don't forget the size of the XL.  I did 23 burgers on mine yesterday.
