That it does! I upped the temp to 285 to get this home. It's at 190 now. I'll probe it at 200.

Off the Egg at 204 IT and right on schedule. Probes like buttah.
Rubbed in McCormick's Memphis Pit rub with mustard slather. I used hickory chunks for smoke wood. I've been smelling this all day, and I'm hungry!
1 Hour FTC to hold for dinner - sammiches with baked beans and cole slaw.

I took some pics last night, but was in a too much of a food stupor to post them. I'll post them when I get home tonight.
It was my best butt to date.

No worries... and welcome to the forum!I could probably get 4 nine pounders over the drip pan I use without them hanging over the plate setter. With a larger drip pan, you could easily fit more.
You looking to cook for an army?

I just cooked 3- 8 pounders, still room left. I think I could fit 4 or 5 and with the additional raised second grid I fixed, I see no reason I couldn't cook 7 or 8.mstrbbqchef said:Sorry, I'm brand new to forum.

Looks great fellas. Yes, you can cook for an army on an XL BGE. A large BGE could smoke 4 butts with an adjustable rig.LBGE, Weber Grills, Silverback Pellet grill, PBC. No I don't have a grill issue.

Any day is Butt day here in South Carolina. Always a pleasure to look at butts cooking and being pulled (or chopped for you NC folk). Keep on smoking my friend.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax
