    I'm doing a 10# pork butt.  Put it on at 9:00 PM last night.  I wasn't sure how long it would take, and I didn't want it to be done before we woke up, so I set the pit to 220.  Woke up at 7:30 this morning with the meat reading 155, so I bumped the pit to 300.  An hour later, I wrapped it and drizzled it with butter.  Now, after it's been on the pit for 13 hours, it's reading 186.

    It's smelling good!

    Ha!  Oops.  Didn't see this in time.  It's off the pit, rested, and pulled.  I have to say that this one is one of my best!  The reeeeeeally low and slow did its work. 

    I'm not going to sauce it.  It's going on the table on its own with sauce available on the side.  Delicious!

    I did about 5 lbs bone in today. I split a 10lb so not exact.
    Did 250-275
    9 hours and done. I usually have poor timing and need to chop a bit, but this one got to temp and pulled nice. Patience and timing is key I'm learning.

    No.progress pics but it pulled great hope you don't mind my pics in your thread

    Loved Wilkes in Snellville but use Fergusons now. Have you been to Fergusons (on Brown's Bridge) and if so, how would you compare the two?

    I usually only go to Ferguson's for their lunches. Can't beat the prices for meat and 2 sides. We got coupons in the mail for Wilkes, so that's the only reason we went. I used to live up that direction, so it's kind of a drive now. How do you like Ferguson's?
