Started up the Egg at 22:00 yesterday and set the "Q" at 250 ramp for a meat temp of 190. Woke up to this at 10:00 this morning just like magic.

I'm including a few pics to maybe help some one with clean up. I just take a big alum. pan just a little smaller than a sheet of tin foil and make a one piece liner out of the foil then make "wings" off the tray to catch the side drippings and funnel them into main alum pan. After the cook just wad up the foil and the pan is still good and no mess on plateseter. Clean grill and your done.

Also a shot of the lump left after I pulled the pork at 194 internal after 14.5 hrs. Probably had another 2 or 3 hrs burn left

I loosly broke up the butt while I was cleaning grill and putting up "Q" to let it cool some b4 pulling and then went to work.

    Great looking cook, JL. :woohoo:

    I have only done the butts, never a picnic, but that looks pretty good to me!

    Hey, today I was starting to put a spinal in a patient when my pager went off 3 times, then my cell phone rang. Thinking it might be serious, I pulled off the gloves and saw it was my 83 y/o father on the phone. I answered and he said it was an emergency. Concerned I listened while he told me he was starting a butt on his Egg and had the Guru set and couldn't remember how to set the openings on the Daisy wheel ! LOL. I was relieved it wasn't a medical emergency, so since it was my Dad, I had to go ahead and tell him what to do. At least the patient was sedated with amnesia-causing meds and comfortable-only took 2-3 minutes. :woohoo:

    2 hrs later he called back saying the dome temp was 400, the Guru was alarming (pit temp set for 280). After quizzing him, I found out he had a direct cook going with the pit probe clamped onto the grid. Had him take everything off, platesetter in, legs up, spacer, drip pan, replace grid and butt, clamping probe onto meat thermometer. No more calls, so I guess it went OK. He's only used the Guru a coulpe of times, and although a fantastic gardener, he ain't much with electronic gadgets. :lol: :silly: Gotta love it !

    Funny story, I imagine at 83 I probably won't remember all the details either.

    I'm proud of him for trying to use the Guru. When we first gave it to him for Christmas a year ago, he was so hardheaded he didn't want to use it the right way or he wanted to "argue" with it. :laugh:

    He still does things HIS way. We just have to slyly make him think it is "his way". LOL

    He told one of my brothers that "Clark was trying to grow tomatoes in one of those 'box things' " - (my Earth Box). He just couldn't wrap himself around that. He grows hundred of tomatoes (heirlooms, etc) from seeds every winter in his greenhouse and competes to have the first tomato on the vine. He already has several small ones on some kind of tomato that was developed in Czechoslovakia (bred for cooler weather)! Gotta love him!
