Took some pics, figured I might as well post them.
8.5 lb. butt on the 14.5" WSM, lump for fuel, and hickory plus maple for smoke.
The smoker ran in the 270° range.
About 4.5 hours, first peek.
Large storm headed our way, so I wedged my grate lifter over the top vent to help keep out the rain.
I wrapped it in butcher paper when it started to stall, the stall lasted longer than any butt I've cooked. Finally took it to the oven for 2 hours to finish, total cook time about 11.5 hours and some parts still didn't pull well.
But the taste was great.
Monday, Memorial day, I cooked Wicker's marinated thighs on the 14.5" running about 350° with nothing between the bird and the fully lit briqs below, flipping them a few times during the cook.
Took a little less than an hour, and the skin was nice and crisp.
Jo and I thought they were some of my best ever.
The storm petered out pretty much before it got here, thankfully, but hit hard a little south of us with 80 mph winds and golf ball size hail.
Thanks for viewing, hope everyone had a great Smoke Day weekend!!
