Mike - I'm late to the game.  You have been killing it.  I'm going to try a brazing liquid for my cook tonight / tomorrow.  I'll certainly give you all of the credit.     Now I'm starving.  

Hand split some pellets for the smoker this morning.  :P ;)   I was tasked with cooking a butt for a party tomorrow night.      

It was root bound so I potted up.  I need another 2 bags of dirt to finish the job.  :D   

Another week - another update!!  Thanks for the kind words.  It's exciting to see the plants exploding and pods!        

Certainly interested in this topic - we are also in the market.  Not an upstart, but my parents and a few friends rave about their Sleep Number beds.  I struggle to justify the cost compared to upstart options.            

I owe yall an update.  Time to pot up!    

  I knew I was forgetting something last night!     I slept through my alarm Sunday morning - so the butt didn't go on until 8am.  I cooked it hotter than usual at ~275F.  Being my first cook on the $30 stick burner, there was more temp fluctuation than I would have liked.  I used random...

Nothing special this time - using almost the same method and extra rub from the last one.  No brine this time.  I wasn't as aggressive with the trimming because this is my first cook on the new setup.       

  This last cook I pulled it at 198 internal.  18 hours seems long to me too based on my reading.  I think the cooker is getting too cool overnight. 

  He he   At least it is aluminum and not burn-yo-house plastic  :rofl:  

Keeping it simple tonight.  :cheers:  

Luckily the rust was just starting on the surface.  Heating it up tonight after some light sanding and fresh paint earlier.       Picked up a pork butt on sale - again :D  Might start it tomorrow.     

Ooo that turned out great!  Now I'm hungry.  Love the color on that rock.

I've been slacking on my updates!

:welcome:     if you already plan to eat one - might as well get it on video. :D     

    They choked off the fire box with a 90 degree heat shield.  The smoke stack is extended to just above grate level.  Everything else appears stock.   Going to wheel it in and clean it up this weekend.     That butt looks money!

You sir inspired me   $30 on craigslist - 4 blocks from my house.  :dance:   Had it not been for your post, I never would have looked.  

Nice lookin' grub and great score on the smoker!  Can't wait to see what comes off of it.

  Thanks!  Good call on watching the salt.         Always extra plates at this house for friends!  :cheers:       Thank you!  Agreed  - I like to serve it as it falls.  Plus I'm usually too hungry to shred.   :)
