Well that’s two people I know who use the term Sconi. Before Spinaker used it I had never heard it before & I have traveled all of the state & have lived here 30 years. Hmmmm. You live in a town that has a pretty good Q joint. Welcome, eat good and have fun!

Thanks all!
FYI - Some useless trivia about the origins of the term Sconnie.
I graduated from UW-Madison where i attended from '04-'09 (ON WISCONSIN!!). The native Wisconsin students had a term for out-of-staters from the East and West coasts who had a certain "look" to them, we called them Coasties. They, along with the FIBs and Sotans called us Sconnies. Well in about '06, we stole the term and used it affectionately to refer to ourselves as Sonnies. A couple enterprising students actually started printing SCONNIE shirts, clothing, and started a website and store.
My role in the whole thing was drinking the free case of beer that the enterprising students gave my friends in return for allowing them to hang a SCONNIE banner on their house during football gamedays.

Learn somethin everyday Dept. I now know. You two yutes, to quote Joe Pesci from my cousin Vinnie (that was a movie in the dark ages) are still the only ones I’ve heard use the term. I understand cuz it’s a yute/college thing & I’m a geezer, as in old guy. In all due respect, doesn’t make anything bad, just different. I’m more wrinkly. Keep the fire & smoke a comin’! 🕶

Welcome to The Pit. If you can smoke a butt, give a chuck roast a try. They cook about the same with the chucky normally needing to go a bit higher in temp to get to probe tender.

[WICKSTICK83]

I hadn’t thought of roasts. Will have to pick one up and try it next time. Brine? Rub recommendations?
