Doing some butts today on my Timberline 1300. Man I love the space this grill gives me. Five are for pulled pork BBQ and one is seasoned for some Carnitas.

Looks like you are off and running.
Looking forward to how they look later on............

Two questions:
- How do you do your carnitas?
- Why only five temp probes? You know that one butt really feels like an outcast ! ! !

That's a lot of pork!
I envy your ambition. I've never done that many butts at one time.

This is my first attempt at Carnitas and I don't know yet how it turned out. I will be pulling the Carnitas one this week and trying it out. I did all the probes because this is the first cook with the grill heavily loaded and I wanted to check out the temp variations across the grill on both racks. I was very impressed, all the butts were within a few degrees of each other.

Well guys and gals the cook came out great and I beat the rain. I cooked these with LJ Comp blend pellets at 225° for 9hrs, on Super Smoke setting and then bumped it up to 250° to make sure I beat the rain. I cooked these straight through, no spritzing, or wrapping, I have found that I prefer the bark created this way. Everything came out great and I pulled, wrapped and put in coolers at the 14th hour. I gave 3 of these to my kids for their dinners and pulled one of them for ours. I have cooked a lot of butts in my lifetime but I honestly think this was the best one I have ever done. The bark was fantastic and the flavor was over the top. The kids all texted me that theirs were the best they had ever had. I am really loving this new 1300 and I am so glad I was able to get it. Here are a couple shots of the finished product. I hope to try the Carnitas one next week, I hope it is as good as the BBQ ones.

It all looks good to me..I did 1 butt last week..never did that many...☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Thanks. No injection and they are plenty juicy, I have never messed with injecting butts. I just used a home made rub, nothing fancy, just the basics but it works well. With all these butts I couldn't afford the expensive commercial rubs.
