After a long night, started smoking at 9pm, went to bed at 1am with temp steady at 250, woke up at 5am with temp at 100. Stoked the coals, woke up at 9:45, temp again at 100, stoked it again and maintained about 225-250 the rest of the day until 4:30pm, pulled and chilled for an hour.
this pic is in the midst of pulling.
It was injected with apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and lime juice. Meat was a little dry. I'm thinking because it probably spiked up to 300+ after I stoked the fire at 5am. Next butt I'll try the foil pan method.
Gotta work on getting the thing to maintain temps longer than 2-3 hours without throwing on more fuel. At this point, a custom fire pan is probably required, and a custom exhaust, weld over the two exhausts on the side, and keep the two bottom intakes.
Didn't use the water pan this time. Should I just fill it with sand and leave it in there?
