Five hours into this AM's cook and I have ~150 degress on all three butts. Don't know how it happened but a piece of bark ended up on my fork (yum) - can't wait to pull'em.

Stay tuned film at 11.....

    Starting to look good but you forgot one of the main rules.No looking till the temp gets to the 190 degree range.You are letting the heat escape and it will take longwer to finish up.

    Yep I hear you, but I don't have one of the remote monitoring units, so my rule has been take a peak at 5 hour then no lookee no peekee for another 5 hours. My first ever butt finished in around 7 hours (didn't calibrate the dome thermometer :ohmy: )so I'm a little gun shy with the no lookee no peekee rule. Since calibrating the dome thermometer I've been averaging 10.5 to 12 hours on a 7+lbs butt. ;)

    Nice looking cook.
    Nice looking table too. Now what's that round piece of wood in the top left of the picture - is that a ceramic cap mooring? If so that's a great idea - I always have a worry I'll put the cap down somewhere and then knock it off later.

    Thank you,I'm not totally sure what the round piece is for other than it has the company logo on it that built the table and yes I use as a cap stop :ohmy: . That's probably the only question I haven't asked Greig at Taproot :laugh:

    Way to break in that table....

    You are using the cap holder correctly. It is the only reason/use for it. Nice little addition huh?

    Stealin a little bark never hurt nobody. I did 2 big ones last Saturday night. I have a Maverick and the cook took 16 hours. Never touched the upper or lower vents after I got it stable, and never opened the top. Easiest cook I ever did.

    I bet you are lovin your table.
