    hit the stall around 168 in a major way so at 6 hours in wrapped in butcher paper and raised to 350. 195 and perfect at 8 hours. 


    rested FTC for 3 hours and piping hot. easy and greasy

    Great result.  I have found over many cooks that the smaller butts defy the anticipated cook times per pound.  They always go longer. (No explanation here!!!) With pork I will use foil if needed to drive the cook home.  Faster and the bark is worked into the sum of the pulled pork so any perceived degradation is lost on the audience.  FWIW-

    thanks Cap— yes I am not sure why i went butcher paper — maybe from a search on turbo cooks — but was happy with it. i think it absorbs a fair amount of grease which helping tame the after handling of FTC a bit. still perfecting my handling of foil after any cook to contain random grease exits onto clothing, floors, and nooks or crannies with “cleaning difficulty rating = 10” 

    it was a good day. egg held temp perfectly.

    I have found that I have much better success with over night cooks.  It takes the pressure of the stall out of the equation.  Who cares if it’s done at 9am or 11am if it’s meant for dinner.  Just my humble opinion
