First effort w/ Guru: 17.5 hours for an 8 lb-er. Worth the wait. I'll know better next time as regards damper setting, Daisy, and pit temp.

Looks dam (sic) near perfect to me!!!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Looking good! I think most of the butts I have done have taken about that long. If it's great when you chow down you'll know it was just long enough.

Nice looking bark. Makes me hungry for a pulled pork sandwich. I cooked by first 4 lb pork butt for 12 hours, nice and slow because I didn't want it dry. I since learned that pork butts are very forgiving and I now cook a 8-9 lb butt in 12-14 hours.
Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

Plenty of bark! I slice most of the fat cap off to get bark all over.
