    My First Pork Butt on the WSGC

    Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_4171.JPG Views:	2 Size:	4.98 MB ID:	268665
    Seeing all the grilled and smoked goodness here (& a free Saturday) prompted me to make pulled pork for the first time on my Weber Summit Charcoal.

    Dry brined the 7.5lb butt for about 30 hours and coated it with Memphis Dust. Went on the grill at 6am
    .

    Had to add more water and coals (more on that in a moment) at the 5 hour point.

    The stall happened around 1:30 at 160 degrees. Around 3 (after I thought I powered through the stall without wrapping as I got to 170 degrees), I noticed the grill temp getting low (I targeted 240 degrees). I realized the coals were all but extinguished. Had to take the meat off the grill to reload and light new coals. The feeling of seeing the meat temp go backwards is sad, sad, sad.

    Meat came off the grill 7pm. Bone came out clean. Family was happy with it (including the wife, who usually doesn't eat red meat).

    SO WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

    • load enough coals to last 12+ hours
    • don't press the aluminum foil tray on the diffuser plate. It will put a hole in the bottom and water will leak.
    • take a nap at some point if you wake up at 5am to set up the grill

              Yes, Weber includes the diffuser plate (that's what they call it) with purchase.

              And as expensive as the Summit is, it is the least they can do.

            Nice looking cook!! I like the advice! However there would be no choice for me I would flat fall a sleep if I got still! (I always set a alarm on my watch just encase I spontaneously fall asleep!) Now you know why I like Gadgets!!

              Yeah, Gadgets Rock!!! I always point out t' folks, my witchwatch gots (way!) more CPU power n' throughput than what we landed Men on th' moon with, in 1969.
