Eric,I put a couple 7.25 #ers on SUNDAY MORNING around 2 am. At 10 AM, the fire was going down. Due to some Cr@P lump from our local grocery store, HEB, made in Argentina, I reloaded with the same junk (to get rid of it), and got the fire back up. I was cooking LOW on purpose (~205). Around 1:30 PM, I was about 160 and I kicked it up to around 225°. At 6, they hit the target. I pulled, foiled and stored them in the cooler.My experience was a combination of bad charcoal, and changing the temp, since I wasn't in a rush.7.25 should have taken ~14.5 hours, but that's based on 225-250, IMO. This took me about 16 hours because I was lower, so I figure I did right...This was all done with a GURU, BONE IN, and making sure that the probes were away from the bone._jeeves
