first butt, small butt turned out great....

jbrodie

Despite rain squalls and the batteries in my remote thermometer dying in the last hour of the cook it was great. Not sure which site I found the rain cap made from a coffee can on, but it works great. It took about 12 1/2 hrs. to cook a 3 1/2 lb. butt at an average of 225* to 230* except for the last hour which I bumped up to 300*. Next time I will try maybe 240* to 250* to shorten the cook up a little. Thanks to everyone on this site for all the info, Jim.

jbrodie,
I am not sure there is an exact time for Egging butts.
These took 16 hours and 30 minutes. Dome at 240 and internal pulled at 195. They were great. [p]Jerry

Jim,[p]I'm a BGE newbie and have yet to do a butt. That is a pretty picture of your efforts. Did you use a drip pan under the port butt?
Cheers,
Skipper
