Nice recipe, I'll have to give it a shot. One thing I've found is that by slicing the butt into 2-3 sections, it shortens the cook time by about 30% AND gives more of that beautiful bark on the outside (see: more edges). It's not any drier, either.
First I have heard of that method, Glen. I will have to give that a shot some time. I typically cook pork shoulder low and slow overnight because it takes 12+ hours. That often leaves me yearning for a faster method.
Glad to see you like your Vision. I recently sold my BGE to a friend. We are remodeling and I am putting in an outdoor kitchen. I decided to replace my BGE with a Primo XL. The new kitchen is not done yet but I am anxious to give the Primo XL a go.
What brand of lump charcoal do you prefer? I have tried many different brands but now only use Ozark Oak. Fortunately, it is made a few hours of where I live so it is easily available.
I have had good consistency with royal oak, plus it's pretty cheap at walmart. There is definitly better stuff out there, but it close to home and cheap.
Pin it!

No kidding, especially in the winter.
