So I filled it up to the brim of the firebox... lighted a firestarter square dead center and waited about 2 hours for the temperature to level... set 1 pork butt and cooked for ten hours until 198 internal was reached... I placed the second one and hope the lump will last hehe... will tell you in the afternoon...
Cheers!
Cheers!

You should be fine I have a medium and have done 3 8# butts on 2 layer cook standing on thier sidw on the bottom and flat on the top just have to watch your dome probe and keep it away from the cold meat
-
hehe... well that's gonna be a bit difficult... I'm at the office... I just hope the lump doesn't give out. It's been burning for 12 hours now... just 8 more hours aprox for the butt to be ready, and then will let it burn out just for educational purposes...

Looking good ,you should be fine for the other one it will be interesting to see how long the lump lasts.
GOOD EATS AND GOOD FRIENDS

Pato,
You know you Americans don't know how to cook barbacoa. You should ask a Mexican, like Beli. He will show you how. :laugh: -
Jaja... gracias por la sugerencia Jose, al rato le marco a Beli a ver que opina... lo veia seguido cuando vivia en Monterrey, mi ciudad natal, antes de venirme a vivir a Roseville hace 3 semanas...
Si conozco la barbacoa... de hecho la he cocinado en varias ocasiones (con cabeza de res envuelta en penca de maguey), pero esto no es barbacoa... es puerco, y es cabeza de lomo, muy diferente... seria incorrecto llamarle a esto barbacoa... :P
Un saludo grande desde Roseville! -
Hey Dale! yeah, it's my first long cook on the medium so I really am interested in knowing that... It definitely behaves differently than the XLs... I'll let you know...
Cheers! -
Hi Pato......put away that sharp knife. All you need for something that tender are your fingers and a butter knife, lol. Looks good with a nice bark!
-
Hehehe I knooow Rebecca! the thing is that it's plenty food so I wanted to cut in smoothly to make 4 square blocks to cool and freeze.... The bark was deliciouuus.... :woohoo:
cheers! -
Just teasing you, Pato. Welcome to the U.S. !
-
Hehe, I know! thanks!
Cheers! -
1st one looks great
-
Looks great! Still haven't done a pork butt. Helped my brother do several, but none on my own.
I keep wondering why everyone's platesetter is so white and mine is so black. Now I know. :S -
For those who wanted to know...
After 18 hours of fire at 250F on a medium... it finally gave out...
cheers! -
Thanks Pato,that is pretty cool that you can cook for 18 hrs on one load of lump.Enjoy the meat and have a great weekend.
GOOD EATS AND GOOD FRIENDS

Hi Pato
Your first butt looks perfect! Did you have enough lump to finish the second one? You also say that you filled the egg to the top of the fire box not the fire ring?
