ECB Update:
After 9 hours the EBC is down for the count.
The temp of the ECB butt was 166 out of the smoker and into the wrap.
After temps dropped under 200 in the EBC and the final coals were checking out I pulled and wrapped it and stuck in the oven (next to his buddy from the PBC) set at 250.
The PBC butt is pushing 180, so its time is short before resting @ room temp.
The ECB butt will take at least another two hours to reach 190-195.
Judging from the time, effort and energy the PBC wins hands down (especially considering the false alarm on coal outage that cracking the lid would have fixed).
Judging from the taste of the burnt bark I peeled off of the racks of the cookers - ECB has it by a full car length thus far.
I'll report out the final pics and stats when all done - right now its time for a Sunshine Daydream (or 2)...

Thanks everyone!
...and the folks at work thought I was crazy for burning up vacation time taking time off on a 45 degree and rainy Lowcountry day!
