Felt like doing a butt this weekend and had a 9.5 lb beauty. As I was just doing the butt, didn't see any advantage to hanging as placing on the grate is much more convenient. I did use the hooks for transporting from the kitchen to the PBC which makes things easier. Was done in 6.5 hours with an average pit temp of 265F. Since it was done earlier than expected, I let it hang out in a cooler wrapped in a towel on an aluminum sheet pan. I pulled it at 199F IT and it was interesting to see that this temp went up to 201F inside the cooler - talk about residual heat. I also measured the temp inside the cooler and it was about 124F. I thought it came out very tasty and we all enjoyed some homemade tortillas and tacos.
