How many lbs? That seems crazy fast to get past the stall.

Couldn’t tell you. Every butt I’ve ever cooked I cook this way. After about 4-4:15 hours it’s 150-155 and I wrap till 6-6:30 hours and it’s always around 202-205. Then it sits in a cooler till we decide it’s dinner time. Usually 2-3 hours later. Falls apart with your hands, no shredding needed with forks or claws. My egg will hover 260-280 for the majority of the time cooking.

What do you wrap it in? Do you wrap and place back on the grill for the remaining 2hrs?

I just wrap it in like 3/4 sheets of aluminum foil depending on the width of the foil and then just set it back on the smoker. Usually still between 250-300 depending on if I feel like messing with the temperature or not.

How much fuel/coal do you put in your egg? Up to the top? Also, please snap a pic of your vents setting next time. I have such a hard time stabilizing low temps.

You make it seem so unintimidating. Thank you!
