My 1st overnight butt cook in years. I love the ThermoWorks Signals + Billows.
Start: 9:15 pm PST. Hopeful to get 15 lbs of boneless butt thru 12 hours of low and slow.
I am unavailable to wrap and monitor and I want to sleep.

This is my first cook with Killer Hogs.
1) Base layer of: Salt & Pepper (AF style)
2) 70% Killer Hogs - The BBQ Rub
3) 30% Killer Hogs - Hot BBQ Rub

Bribed the family with fresh bread to kick off the cook.

More pics tomorrow, dinner time.

ps - I just realized I have been a member here since May 2004.

Smoke On!

A refresh of 40 coals, with a spritz of AJ/ACV/H2O at 7:30 am PST.
Jacked up the base temp to 235*.
Trying to get these to finish around 12:00 pm so I can rest in coolers for 3-4 hours.

Nice lookin butts.

Good looking work.
I am planning an overnight pork butt cook later this week.
My Friday starts tomorrow night and I can’t wait.

I think overnight cooks are kinda like long road trips because I can’t sleep through either very well and yet I really look forward to them.

@Andy Kaminski - good analogy with the road trip. That is exactly what it is. The Signals and fan is a great copilot.

16 hours 36 minutes.
Probing is smooth and soft, a few 203*s and a few 196*s.
In the cooler for 2.5 hours.
Beans on bottom rack.

Post sandwich.
touch dry, a couple charred ends.
I went low to extend my cook time - I will cook hotter next time.

Happy cooking and eating!

Looks perfect.
Think a faster cook, or wrapping would have helped at all?

I believe, yes. I needed some sort of liquid to rejuvenate the pull.
I think butcher paper would have protected the ends.
I just do not smoke enough anymore to get into a repeatable successful mojo.
I think I put on 15 lbs of trimmed butts on.
I used 3 chunks of Cherry - which was fine.
Nobody noticed, but me.
