Bed time for Bonzo!

The smoke is over. Change the water and put in a clean V-tray.

Rotated the stock. And lowered the Cabinet temp to 225*





IT's are 152* on the Butt and 139* on the Brisket.

All is good.

Pulled the Butt out of the smoker at 11:30 with an IT of 187* and put in FTC.

Since I didn't rotate cause I didn't want pig juice on my Brisket, it is running

a little behind. IT on the Brisket at 11:30 was 164*.
