A buddy gave me his recipe that called for 4 strips of hickory bacon on top of the meat.  Not sure if I would cook it that way again or not.  Here is a pic after 9 hours.  Meat temp was 170. Pulled the bacon off and wrapped it in foil.  It’s back on the Egg for a few more hours.  Hopefully it turns out ok!

    Let us know how that turns out, most things are better with bacon on them.

    Guys, you won’t believe it but I forgot to take an after picture!  I will say it turned out pretty good.  The meat was delicious.  But, the top of the butt did not end up with the real black crusty bark that I would have preferred.   I will continue to enjoy the journey on my way to perfection !
