PBS (Pork Butt Sunday)

[chuff]

I picked up my XL BGE a little over a week ago, and I said in my intro post that I was going to do a pork shoulder over the weekend. I fired the cooker up Sunday very early AM and put the rubbed shoulder on around 2. I went to bed with the egg holding at 248° and when I woke up 5 and 1/2 hours later the egg was steady at 246° and the shoulder was in the stall. Finish time came out almost exactly where I'd hoped and I rested it in a cooler for a couple of hours until my wife got home from work. Results were terrific. I was still stuffed when I went to bed at midnight! 8.2 lb shoulder and we don't have much left.

Yeah, that's how I did it. Im not sure if it was ideal maybe someone else has a better way, but i did plate setter feet up, drip pan on stock grate, replacement webber 22" grate directly on drip pan and it worked well. Drip pan was a 1/2 size hotel pan. If you have a restaurant supply store around you'd be amazed how often 2 or 3 of those come in really handy.

Nice butt! ...

Uh, thanks dude. :icon_blush:
