Greetings from the Midwest!
Introduction post is a little late, but wanted to say I'm glad to be on board. I've always enjoyed cooking and making stuff with my hands. I have a pretty nice gas grill, but wanted to get into smoking. Following advice here, I purchased a 14.5" WSM and Maverick dual thermometer. 3 weekends ago I made my first pork butt (see below) and two weeks ago was ribs! Turkey is next up for Thanksgiving and I'm having a blast. Thanks again to all the hard work that's gone into the site and all of you who answer questions on this forum. I hope to be around for many years to come...

I want a "Stick Burner"!! Looking at Lang 36" Hybrid Deluxe. Either patio or trailer haven't made up my mind.
Welcome Toro!! You are going to have fun here sharing with the rest of us. Great looking PB. What rub did you use and what was the IT when you took it off?

IT was 203. I used Memphis Dust. My preferred butcher's smallest one was 8.5 pound bone-in, so my cook took 16 hours when I was hoping it would be done in 12. I'd invited family over, but they had to go home without because it took so long. They enjoyed the leftovers, but it wasn't the same. I'm noticing a trend of cook times not cooperating with your meal scheduleNext time, I'll start at 10pm instead of getting up at 5am. Or maybe just get 4-5 pound boneless from the grocer

It was the stall that killed you I bet. I haven't got a "Cambro" yet but I can see I really need one as when the PB is done it is not a time thing and I need to make sure it is done on time or early. I refuse to use a crutch when I hit the stall so that always adds another 2 hrs to my cook when doing a PB

Yeah, in hindsight, 12 hours was waaaay too optimistic. I purposely didn't foil as it was my first attempt. I did crank the heat towards the end. Mainly, 5am was as early as I was willing to wake up. It will be better next time. I've got some coolers around I can use as a Cambro. I'm starting the turkey 2 hours ahead of schedule to give myself some wiggle room . . .
