So - event finished up, all done. Meat turned out great - everything turned out great! Thanks so much to all of you for the help and support. Love this community!
For everyone's benefit, I'll upload a graph of my cook. You'll see that everything was cooking along (pun intended) until about 7:20. Then at 8:37 I discovered the stove had stopped. Thing were going again at 9:15. At 10:45 I wrapped the pork and got it going.
The first one hit 198 and I pulled it at 12:02, just a few minutes after target time. The next couple hit 203 starting in 45 minutes and about every half hour. I had hot fresh pulled pork for the next several hours. I would guess that we had about 120 guests come through over the next five hours. We ended up with about 14 pounds left over at the end of the evening. We even gave away 5 or 6 pounds for folks to take home.
All in all, it was a very successful event. There were a few moments of panic, but sticking to it things turned out great.
