Yep they will get darker as you go. I cooked 3 butts (24 pounds) for party tonight on my 18.5, i put all three on top rack. Started at 9PM last night and cooked all through the night. They just finished. I use sand in the pan foiled. Works alot better for me than water. Burn less fuel and...

Thanks for the well wishes..Sorry no pics of the finished product but I had some people over and forgot to snap some pics. Just to give my final report, I used sand for the first time cooking this butt. I will have to try it a few more times but if all my smokes go like this past one I wont...

Make sure to try and crisp the bacon. If you can throw it on a high heat grill after it comes out better in my oppinion....otherwise the bacon is soggy...
