I did a 7.5# butt over the weekend and started it on Friday night at 8pm...then I just slept through the stall! No worries, got up Saturday morning and the temp was already up to 185, hit 201 at 11am, which provided plenty of time to get the grass mowed before I needed to double wrap for the rest! Nothing like the lazy Q, and the pulled pork was again most excellent. It's a beautiful thing!
