The cook went ok. The four butts on the bottom had a better bark than the ones on top. The ones on the top really had no bark at all. I foiled all of them after 9 hours. I took the last one off after 16 hours. Most of them came off after 13 hours. 8 is to many IMO. I had major issues holding temps. At one point I could see the entire bottom of my drum bubbling.
I got a total of 3 hours of sleep Wed night and into Thu morning. After packing all this meat My family and I left for Nashville around 5:00 pm Thu.
