Fall off of the bone goodness...

Going to feed the crew at work tomorrow....I think they are in for a treat! I put a 8lb Boston in this am at 5:18 and pulled it at 5:43 pm at 189.1...the Fireboard is spot on...

Looks nicely done. You might get put in charge of office pot lucks!

 

[Tar54]

They would enjoy that I am sure...

I thought the temp pic didn't look right because I didn't see a stall, then I realized it was not the whole cook, and just until 1 pm and only through 160. Do you have an image of the whole butt cook?

Way to go, Rick!  I know my co-workers sure enjoy one of my BBQ days!!

I will look into that for you...

They licked the bowl clean... 8) One other co-worker has a propane fired smoker...that...lets just say it experiences temp swings...and not good ones.

SconnieQ...I went back and pulled the entire smoke time graph and I am not seeing a stall?

Looks like it's about 11:30 - 1:30, Rick.  Not a pure "stall," but certainly a pretty slow climb from 160-170.  I've seen that, but it's kind of rare.

Here is one I smoked a few days later...

Did you remove it at 2:57, Rick?  I've had them stall in the 180s before.  But, if the butt was fairly lean, it is possible you didn't really stall.  The fatter the meat, the longer it will stall (more fat to render).

Yes it was removed at 2:57...I have another one in now..cook temp set at 210...shall see how this one shakes out..
