One of the things I love about the SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW cooking method is the amount of beer it allows me to consume.  I mean, after all, who can cook without a beer or several?
There's room for all of God's critters right next to the mashed taters and gravy!

Congrats of the Butt GG.  They shouldn"t and don"t usually take almost 4 hours per pound, but then every once in a while, you get one with a mind of it's on.   If the meat was truly in the stall for that long, you probably could have pulled it before then.  Good to try some tenderness tests.  Recently did a couple of 7# butts and a 12# brisket.  One of the butts would not get above 180 even after everything else was long done.  But tested it, and it seemed tender enough so took it out of the smoker.  Pulled fine.  Time in the Miracle Zone is the key.  Mopping, can get you thicker bark, if you use the right mop.  It won't get you a moister butt, but could get you a tastier bark.  However, like most everyone else, I don't mop my butts, except in certain situations. 

Hint:  the carnivores on the forum love pictures!
