Eleventy Pound Pork Butt

Slapped this big pig on this morning.  Pit chugging at 275.  Looking forward to a pulled pork palooza.

@lkapigian Thanks I use a ball of tinfoil when the grill heats up.  Drip pan is sparkling clean thanks to my lady.  She's a real time Italian washer woman

I was thinking the exact same thing. Then I read your post.

How long will it take?

@larryd I read somewhere it should be 1.5 to 2 hrs a pound but I cook to temp not time.  Shooting for 195 internal. 4.5 hrs in, DigiQ showing 147 internal.  Haven't looked at it at all.  Going to spritz it with apple cider vinegar & apple juice mix at 5 hrs.  Then once evey hour.  Waiting on the stall. I'll keep you posted.

5 hours in at 152 internal

10.5 hrs in.  Think she hit the stall.  Been 180 internal last 45 min

It must be "slow butt day" today. I just pulled 2 butts from my Assassin after 10 hours...and I usually ride around 8 to 9 hours at 275.

Your butt is looking like prime time.

For me butt finish is the feel, best indicated by when the bone pulls clean.  Or if boneless, the proverbial "probes like buttah".  Temp for me is always in the low 200's *F when the above happens.  FWIW-
