Carolina chopped pork--the thread....

just getting everything ready to roll tonight. Lit the egg about 30 minutes ago with a healthy load of royal oak and lots of oak and hickory. Getting her dialed in for this over night cook, I made sure to get a good fire going. Loaded up the AR with plans to put pork up high, with drip pan below.
Pork is is rubbed with salt and pepper. Will cook until 175-185 or done to chop. Going to settle the egg in around 230-250, and let her roll.
Plan is to eat around 1-3 tomorrow on sandwiches with jalapeño slaw. Along with guests sides as well. Will keep you updated as we go.
Using a homemade vinegar based sauce from a native NC'er friend that I don't have the recipe for. He won't share, and I don't blame him, but it's the best I've had!! He will make me all I want, but will NOT share the recipe. I've troed for 15 years to get it!!!!
I'll probably detail this more than normal since I've seen so many new people around the forum.
Enjoy!!

1015 update. Stallllllled. Actually gone back to 171 on meat temp. Grid bumped to 260.

@fusionhq , just wondering, when you got up to check it and found the grate temp at 216, did you make an adjustment or just leave it be to do its own thing? I know I would have made an adjustment, which on my last butt cook I thought afterwards perhaps I should have left it alone. But thats not easy to do!
Looks great by the way.Lethbridge, Alberta LBGE & MM -
GI left it alone. I figured the dome was a little higher(it was) and I was getting good meat temps.
Pulled it, rested for a little. Chopped and sauced. Gonna be killer!! -

I will take 2 sammys. Looks excellent. A fine chop job.
