    Looks like a winner.

    It tasted great. I used the recipe from Amazing Ribs.  I figure next time I might set the grate at 275 as I had to FTC to hold until dinner. At least I know now that I can cook it faster if needed.

    Butt looks great! Is that a Challenger cabinet that your Egg is resting in?

    That's the only way I do 'em these days. No overnites. 320°ish, start at 9-10AM, done by 5-6PM. No need for a controller either. Low temps can be tricky on an egg, but anything 300° or more is easy to maintain all day long without a crutch.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
