I quickly learned to start a pork butt the night before and let it go while you sleep. | It is beautiful!! Oh my goodness. I'm starting to wonder how I made it through my first 30 yrs of life without a smoker. I pulled it out at 11:30pm and it just fell off of the bone. Final temp was 185 or so, but I had to go to bed so out it came. Started it fat side down for about 2 hrs then went the rest on the time fat side up. I couldn't do the over night thing because my smoker goes through fuel like crazy. I used about 15lbs of charcoal and 12lbs or so of hickory and mesquite in 12hrs. I have to keep the vents open way more than I would like to, to keep the temp above 200. Open vents, more fuel. All of my wood was pre soaked as well... But the pay off is unreal. I hope I get into some tuna this year. Fuck it, I'm smoking everything I catch!!
