Well, it's almost time (I'll wait until 2:00am) for a big ol' 10# butt to hit the Egg. How many others are doing the same? I'll see ya in the wee hours......

Here's a big Massachusetts go CAAAHHDS!!! Heck, we can't let the Steelahs get a sixth ring before the Pats.

Just kidding Steelers fans :lol: You have a great team!

Good luck to both ends of the USA B)

    A 14# packer here - went on at 6 last night. After several overnighters without a pitminder, this is my first overnighter with a guru - slept well.

    It's great. Just like setting the thermostat on an oven.

    In the beginning I felt like using a guru was kinda like cheating. :blink:

    Then I started trying to justify the $$$. B)

    Finally I took a leap of faith. ;)

    Sure glad I did. :)

    It more of a peace of mind thing to me.

    After the Butt hit the Egg closer to 3:00 am I finally got to bed at 3:30am with a dome temp of 250......now, up again at 9:00 am with a dome temp of 225. Not too bad, but do wish I had the Guru. With little wind at all here in Townsend the Egg holds true (once again).

    My only problem was last night at 2:00 am:
    I had 6 bags of lump (Wicked, Cowboy, and Natural)with only sifting worthy pieces. Sorta like the bottom of a trick or treat bag. After using my hands as a strainer, my arms, and somehow my face were not pretty. Not that I started pretty anyway :lol:

    Anyway, fire is holding up nicely and the Butt is registering a plateau like 173 degrees right now...I hope she holds there for a while.

    Time to go get a big bag of Wicked Good for Beer Can Chicken tonight after the Butt is done.

    Have fun today all, drive safe if driving!

    Good Morning!
    I put two 7.5 lb butts on last night at 10:30 and hooked up my DigiQ for the first time.(Had it since November but my fear of all things digital kept it in the box until now :blush: ).Got up at 3AM just to check on it,A-OK! Both butts at 165* right now. Doing wings after the butts are done.

    Home of World Series and Superbowl Champs??? Last time I checked the Pirates did not win the Series. :laugh:

    All kidding aside, I have a business associate in Johnstown PA that says this does not count :)

    He says Johnstown is sorta the border between the two states of Philly and the Burgh.

    I must say that my yearly visit to Johnstown (fly into Pitt)is always planned around a trip to PNC Park. It is an absolutely gorgeous park. #2 behind Fenway of course ;)
