Mike, the pictures look great. Curious: Have you done an autotune on your Auber, and exactly where did you have the Auber probe placed? Also, as I'm sure you've read on here many times, 2 hours per pound on a butt is not unusual. You said the Auber and Maverick probes were 9 degrees different, but which way? Was the Maverick higher or lower?
My first thought is it's a probe placement issue. This is the main reason I like the fixed-installation probe.
In planning a large cut like that, you can figure it at 2 hrs per pound. If it's done earlier, it's easier to hold until dinner time than to speed-cook one that isn't ready.
