Did my first butt yesterday. Started about 9:00 am with a 6.5lb butt and it took 14 hours; I was planning on about 8 to 10 hours, so my butt was complete, after the GA Dawgs lost, all my guest were gone and I was about 75% drunk. No matter, just put it in the frig last night at 11:30 and pulled it this morning; WOW! it is delicious. I am not typically a breakfast eater, but had some pulled pork with Sweet Baby Rays sauce on it this morning.

I was such an egg sceptic for so long and can't believe how good and how much fun it is. I am still getting good use out of my gasser; we had 13 kids + parents over yesterday and grilled up a boat load of hotdogs. I can't be more pleased with my purchase. When I figure out how to post a pic, I will show everyone my setup. Damn, ain't eggworld great!

ErnestTBass,

Way to go. Glad the first one was a success. Sorry the pulled pork was late for the party. At least there was a plan "B" with hot dogs on the gasser.

Did the thermapen arrive?

ErnestTBass,

Where I live, northern Indiana, there isn't a lot of pulled pork. Even BBQ joints that have spectacular ribs, and decent brisket have ho-hum PP. When I finally got around to doing it muself on the Egg (and got it right, took a couple tries) I realized how great it is. I've had more than a few PP breakfasts.

I haven't had a time crunch like you, but if the time is running out, and the butt is out of the plateau, or near, about 185 internal, the Egg can be run up to 300 - 325 to finish quicker. I did this with my last butt, just to see, and it dropped about an hour off the finish.

No Thermapen yet. I am sure I will get it on Monday. Maverick ET-73 will be here on Tuesday and I will be "set to jet" and need to figure out what to low and slow next.
