I smoked my first pork butt (8lbs) on the Pit Barrel and noticed about 2 hours in when I checked temp one end gave me significantly more resistance than the other when I inserted the Thermapen. The temp readings were consistent on both sides but it was VERY tough to probe. I wrapped in foil when it hit 161F, added a little beverage so it wouldn't dry out and placed it on the PBC grate. When I pulled and cut the pork the temp was around 203 on one side and absolutely perfect while 209F on the "tough" side. The pork was very dry and in the picture below you can see where the one middle park looks dry. Ribs were awesome though
The pork was not injected since it was my first time smoking butt.
