Last night, at 6:15pm, I put a 7.75 lb pork butt in the #3. Hooked up my Maverick. Left for the hockey game at 6:30. Came home, grabbed my Maverick remote, went to bed. Woke up at 9:45 this morning. I had a rough Friday night and needed some catchup sleep. Thankfully, I can sleep now while cooking. That's something I never could do with my stick burners. I wake up and the Maverick Remote states 231 in the cooker and the IT of the meat is 183. All is good. When I did drag my butt out of bed, I went out and cranked the cooker to 250. I need to leave at 11:45 so I'm hoping I can hit 200 degrees IT by 11:30. It is now 11:00 and I'm at 193.
I will wrap the pork in heavy wrap, then foil, then towels, them place in a dry cooker. Leave for another hockey game, come home and eat.
I love this set up!

Nice! You can also just leave it in the smoker @ 140 - makes a great "holder." I've left butts and briskets in there @ 140 for several hours with no adverse effect on moisture. The meat will stop cooking, and will not cool to an unsafe temp in a few hours. When I take it out of the "hold," I wrap in foil and let fully rest for at least 30 minutes. Works great!
