Woke up at 5:30am.  After double checking everything and getting some coals fired up in the chimney, I got the 8.5# Butt on the rack at 6:30am.  I'm using my iGrill2 to track the temperatures, and keeping log entries every 15-30 minutes while I learn to regulate the temps.  The 22.5 WSM was running a little hot at 1st, getting up to about 275, close the bottom vents to about 10% each and I have a steady 260 now.

I rubbed it with Memphis Dust the night before.  We'll see how this turns later today!
 
We're almost twins today. Mines in the mini wsm had a 2.5 hour stall at 170 but up to 175 now. (3:30). Mines 8.5 lbs on the nose put it on at 5:30 am. Hope yours is coming along nicely!
 
That does look awesome! That Hawiian Sweet Baby Ray's looks interesting also. Might have to look that up cause momma loves pineapple.
