@LRGINMT How are things going with the cook? Pics ?XL, Large, 2 Small's and Mini BGE Arlington Texas

Going good 1st pic was at 3:30 this morning egg chugging along at 240. I adjusted it up to 280 and went back to bed. First one done this morning at about 8 FTC'd and the rest are in the upper 170's to upper 180's. I took the first one off at 195.

I pulled it @ 195 IT. Pit controller is yours truly. Went to bed at 12:30 egg was at 260 checked it at 3:30 egg was at 240. It has stayed above 2:40 since. Just pulled and FTC'd the second one. Pulled it at 195 IT. 4 more to go they are all in the mid 180's.

The probes attached to maverick then?LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

Just some cheap thermometer I bought at my local Ace. Ordering a maverick soon. Can't decide which model to go with. Do you have one @NPHuskerFL?
-
Which butts hit temp the earliest?It's an obsession, but it's pleasin'
-
@LRGINMT No I was really torn. I researched and listened to forum member reviews and online non biased reviews. I decided to go with the Stoker for my L&S. Anything above 375℉ or so I do like normal. I still use my TP to double check IT. But, FWIW I've haven't heard a lot of negatives on the Maverick. Just like all the manufacturer's probes I would always recommend running the leads over one of the PS legs to protect from direct radiant heat.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

@dragonwmatches the first one done was on the bottom left and the second one done was on the top middle.

With no pit control and a "Butt Load" of $$$ in protein I'm certain you haven't got much sleep. Awesome cook!LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL
-
Thanks it has been awesome and relatively uneventful. I have gotten some sleep but not a lot. I didn't want to screw this up.
-
Done. Turned out great. Thanks to everyone on the forum for all the pointers & suggestions.
-
Good lord.. I did one 8 pounder with Mickey's rub last night using the Digi Q at 240. 12 hours to 195. Put it on at 10PM and slept through it. 5 of them... 40 pounds.... hmmm. gotta try that.
-
now THAT'S what i'm talking about! The capabilities of the BGE LG size never cease to amaze!
-
THAT is a large mountain of Butt! Kudos to you on what liked like an awesome cook!
-
@LRGINMT, looks like it turned out great, congrats on the cook and the graduation. I am planning on doing the same for a grad party this weekend. Did you inject them? Rub? Did you sauce it when you served it?
-
@Legume. I did not inject them at all. I rubbed them (without mustard my son who graduated hates mustard) Bad Byron's Butt Rub. Had store bought BBQ sauce bottles on table for sauce.
-
Wow,great job. I'm worried about cooking one and you cooked all these. Awesome!!!
-
what size is the upper rack that your using???2 Large Eggs and a Mini 2 Pit Bulls and a Pork shoulder or butt nearby and 100% SICILIANLong Island N.Y.
-
Nice cook man.I know it feels good to pull off a large cook like that. When ppl are satisfied, it makes it even more worth it.XL BGEJoe JRBaltimore, MD
-
@Charlesmaneri the upper rack is the standard 18.25 that comes with the large. I bolted them together with 4 5/16 stainless steel carriage bolts.
-
LRGINMT how long are the 5/16 carriage bolts ?2 Large Eggs and a Mini 2 Pit Bulls and a Pork shoulder or butt nearby and 100% SICILIANLong Island N.Y.
-
I used 6" bolts on this cook. I also have sets of 4", 5" & 5 1/2" for different applications.
