Pulled everything out of the egg after after 22hrs, everthing went well.
I ended up with about 32pounds of Boston Butt after it was finished, turned out perfect.
One thing that surprised me was the amount of charcoal I used. Last night was the first time I have ever ran out of fuel on a overnight cook, had to unload the Egg and top it back up.
Got everything resting in the cooler until I get in a pig pulling chopping kind of mood.
Anyone wants pics of the Monster Cook let me know, dont know how to post on here.

    Driftpin, how much fuel did you actually use and what do you attribute the need for extra to?

    CR,
    I used about nine pounds of Best of the West mesquite charcoal, done a lot of overnighters with it and never came close to running out.
    I topped it off last night as well as I could around 1 or 2am, pulled everything off this morning around 8am. I bet there is only half a handfull of charcoal left.
    I had a lot of meat in there that came right out of the fridge, maybe it just takes more BTU's with that much cold meat.

    Driftpin, that's what I was thinking. With that amount of meat offsetting the heat from the lump it just takes more to keep at temp. Kind of like driving a car uphill; the engine has to work a little harder to keep speed.[p]Thanks for the info. The pictures posted above look great.
