trying again

Good point Double J, then a C- I guess you could "speed it up or slow it down" depending on when your guests will arrive. I still like the FTC- better to FTC than make your guests starve while the butt is at the last stages of completion. By making them wait all you're doing is having to pull out your best scotch to douse their appetites when a cheap wine would have been top-drawer.

Just kidding....

Couldn't agree more, CS!  I really like to FTC, no matter what time/temp combo I've chosen . . . I'm not sure you can really time this sort of thing precisely enough to have the butt ready when guests arrive for dinner. I had in mind broader issues like slowing things down so you could get a good night's sleep . . . [:D]
