First long cook - pork butts

Nothing fancy, just two 6.5lb pork butts.

After:

Turned out great, but I learned some important lessons:

1.) Took longer than expected, something like 14 hours. I had some difficulty maintaining temperature towards the end, which I think was largely due to not enough lump.

2.) I also need to invest in a Maverick probe set; after watching me have to go out there time and time again my wife agreed that its worth the money.

3.) I finally pulled it off at 2:30AM with the thermometer at around 185*, thinking that it may have all been for nothing and needing to get some sleep. To my surprise, it pulled like cotton candy and is just about the best BBQ I've ever had (and that's saying something...)

The egg sure does make a good cook out of a person :)
