I picked up a beautiful 10lb pork butt from the local butcher. I wanted to try a long low and slow. I set the WSM up in the normal minion config, added 15 lit coals and let the Party Q bring it up to 225. I placed the temp probe on my Maverick meat probe, so it was measuring the pit temp right where the meat was. I put the butt on at 2:20am then I hit the rack. I woke up at 7am and the temp remained at 225 all night. The temp began to drop around 1130, but I added some more charcoal and within 30 minutes it was right back at 225 steady. I ended up increasing the temp to 275 to speed up the cook so I could let it rest for an hour or two before dinner. The easiest cook I have had. No babysitting at all.
All in all I was very pleased.
