Anyone having problems with their butts sticking to the racks when you are ready to remove them from the FEC 100? Tried the super low (150-160F) technique to try and increase flavor from wood. Then increased temp to 250F to finish them off. Total cook time was 12 hours. Butts were stuck fast to the racks. Any ideas out there?

Agree with Tom.

The other option is to just move them, you don't have to flip them.
What happens is the fat renders and the meat melts into the racks. I just move mine at some point in the cook before this happens and it works like a charm. Typically half way through I just move them an inch or so away from that spot they were in.
