Just did my first smoke today. 5.25 lb boston butt. Seasoned with 3 Tbs of cookshack rib rub last night and refrigerated overnight. Put in smokette elite at 6:45 a.m. at 225. Bumped to 250 after 11 hours because had to get it done before the snow starts flying here tonight. 13.5 hours total to get to 195. Let sit for 45 min., then pulled and had two giant sandwiches. The title says it all. I hope every smoke is this easy. If so, these things really are idiot proof.
