I'm good with that David!

To wrap it up, it was perfect!! Thanks for holding my hand through the day guy's.

I took the Butt off at temp 195, 4:50pm. It was almost exactly 10 hours from start to finish, crazy that the 1.5 hours per lb. actually was spot on. I did the "hot knife in butter" test and from what I could figure, it passed. The pork has been in a cooler wrapped in foil and towels for an...

Is an hour long enough to let the Butt rest before pulling? I'm not ready to take him off yet, just trying to figure out when dinner will be served.

Ha! My wife was laughing at me an hour ago as I paced around the smoker! Mytemp is 182 now after 7 1/2 hours, it's slowing down a bit. I'm just a bit under 250 and holding steady for hours! This machine is fantastic.

I hit 160 at 9:50am and it did slow but continued to rise. I'm at 175 now at 11:40am, almost 5 hours into the smoke. This is going way faster than I expected, I thought for 7 lbs. I would be at this for at least 10 hours, possibly 14 on the high end. I'm 20 degrees off my take off temp and...

Next time I'm loading this thing up! I'm 2 hours into my smoke and surprised my meat temp is already 125. Smoker temp is at 250.

I'm going to go fat cap down with no trim on this first one. Then next time I'll trim and see how that one ends up. I'm kicking myself because I didn't get more meat, seems a waste to use all this fuel for just one Butt. Any good ideas on something easy I can throw on for lunch while the pork...

Thank you Scotty! Do you cook with the fat cap down or up?

I picked up a 7 lb. pork shoulder, this will be my first run in the WSM and my first shoulder ever. I just put my rub on and I'm trying to figure out where to put the thermometer? I thought there was just a shoulder bone but it seems like there are bones crossing through the meat spaced out...

Thank you all for the information, I've got some reading to do!

Thanks John, looks like it's going to take a bit to get me dialed in but I have to say I'm excited about the whole process. Now to figure out what I want to smoke first!

Hello everyone! My wife surprised me this morning with a 18.5 WSM, what a gift!! I have some experience smoking on my kettle with a smokenator but this is the big leagues now for me. I'm currently doing a test run on my porch as I type and had a couple of questions now that I'm about 2...
