How does it look .Mr king of butts. :D.Nice and juicy pulled at 195 of course. 4 hrs.ftc.Thank u o master.
Very tasty looking. As a newbie at this, perhaps someone can help me out here. I also did pulled pork this weekend with two pork butts, nearly 8lbs each. I started out at 220 degrees with an internal meat target of 187 and an estimated cooking time of 24hrs. Halfway through I lowered the temp to 210. It took 24hrs, 15 minutes for the temperature to reach its target.
You did yours in a much shorter time with what appears to be excellent results. I tried tasting some of yours but that only resulted in smudging up my monitor.... When I pulled my butts out of the smoker the meat was very loose and probably didn't need FTC although I did such for a couple of hours.
Here's a few photos also........

Looks perfect Michael. Congratulations.
Michael,
If you're looking to shorten the cook time, your undoing was lowering it to 210. The closer the internal temp gets to box temp, the slower the internal rises. I've seen 1 degree in an hour! :o
220 will cook a dang fine piece of meat, I usually even up it to about 240 the last couple of hours. But I take my IT to 190-195 so that can really start to make a difference.
If your goal was a 24hr cook, a big congrats, you're not the newbie you claim to be! ;)

Michael,
Looks great. Notice that you seem to have leakage at the left corner; may want to watch that.

It's done that a couple of times now. Perhaps a teaspoon or so of liquid drips out each time. Is that because my vent is not open far enough and moisture is running down the side of the door?
Wow! That looks really tasty. Good job. :D
Sweet ,nice job sir.
Nice job Mike. Like Arcs said keep that juice cleaned up so you don't risk torching the Bradley. Other than that you done real good my man! ;)
Geee Willeeekers there folks....you guys are just awful showing that kind of full, frontal Pork-Butt pornography....for shame...but I must say that does look enticing.

Probably, but it could also mean your smoker isn't sitting on a level surface. All that crud in your V-tray is blocking the normal flow & the moisture will find its' way. You do change out the water bowl half way through cooking, don't you?
I also notice some "seasoning" building up on the door face. You'll want to wipe that off, preferably after every time you smoke. Otherwise, sooner or later, it will glue the magnetic seal on the door to the smoker & you'll rip it to pieces when you open the door. Not a big deal, a wet paper towel usually does the trick if done regularly.
And Mike, please don't take this the wrong way. NICE BUTT!!!

Easy kirk. ;)
Rat,
I'm sorry, but when you choose a thread title like that, where is the mind to go? ;D
At first I figured Ann went to Mall of America with her sisters. ;) :o ;D ;D ;D
