First long smoke on WSM

[Guest]

I smoked a 7.89 lb Pork Butt yesterday. This was my first long smoke on anything. I got the fire going using the minnion method got the temp to settle down to around 225. I used water in the pan and a mix of hickory and mesquite for smoke because they don't have much selection here and that was all I had here at the house. She held between 225 and 250 all night for 10 hours until I pulled the butt. foiled it and set in the cooler for a hour and I sliced it up. I used a rub on it as well that I put on while the fire was going. The rub was seasoned salt, pepper, brown sugar, and some other assorted spices.here are some pics for you all.

The pork looks really good. Were you going for sliced pork, verses pulled pork? I ask because you mention hrs instead of a internal temp for the pork. Just curious that's all.

I ran it up to 190 on the tem then let it rest if foil in a cooler for a hour. I read a post on another board about slicing it and have seen it done on TV at bbq competitions so thought I would give a shot.
