I did 2 4lb pork butts, they turned out great although I didnt leave the first one on as long as I should for pulled pork because I had guests comming in. Started the Q up at about 11am(too late to start I found out.) took the first butt off at about 630 when the temp was at about 180, it tasted great but I found that leaving that bad boy on till atleast 195 would have been a lot better. I used 2 Cherry and 1 Hickory block of wood for the smoke and rubbed it with the BRITU rub....I also brined it with the "basic brine" from the weber cook book that came with the grill (this I am sure I did not need to do but figured it would not hurt it.)
Two questions.
1. Refilling that water pan, I had to lift the lid, take the top grad off and then poor water in, is there a better way or should I just goto sand?
2 I used probably a good 15lbs of charcoal, too much overkill, what would you suggest just filling up 2 starter stacks????
