I've had an 8 pound pork butt in the smoker since 5:40 AM this morning. :mmm:

Just probed it and it's at 190 F right now, which is good because me so hungry.

Pulled pork was the shiznit.  I screwed up two things (bark wasn't blackened/hard enough and wasn't quite smoky enough) and it still came out better than at most BBQ joints.  I have had better, but this was close to that.  It damn well better have been since the total cook time was almost 16 hours. :D

Oh, MiM, I got one of these at Homo Depot yesterday:


Weber 6312.  It was only ten bucks and it calibrated perfectly (read ice water as 33F, boiling water as 211F).  Pretty quick read time too.

Got an 8 lb pork butt on the smoker for tomorrow when my parents get here.  Since I last posted I have gotten:

1.  A supplemental/cold smoke box with its own heating element and massive wood chip capacity (loaded with hickory right now)
2.  Silicone five finger BBQ gloves
3.  A Maverick ET-732 wireless dual probe thermometer.

Got one of the probes in the center of the butt and the other clipped to the grill rack to measure ambient temp.  I was pleased to discover my smoker's built in thermostat is highly accurate based on the ambient probe reading.

Am I: hardcore.

I really like the propane rectangle with the wood chop box. I have had three over the years. Low and slow for the win. The egg is pretty amazing as well. Get the smoker plate. It works well.

Oh yeah, I'll probably be smoking this butt for 16 hours or so. :cool:

I'll probably get a BGE eventually but I love the electric smoker I have.

WTF?  I have never had pork go that long.  Mine take 6 - 8 hours.

Low and slow. :)

What temp do you do it at?  I've done this smoke (which is still going) at 210-225 most of the way.  I started inching it up to be sure it'll be ready in time for dinner.
