Yeah that pic is deceiving it's only about an 8 inch bucket they are maybe a hard ball size at best. I was just checking another thread and his 9lb took 24 hours to hit just under 200 maybe I should start now ?
 
I'm running with the 3 bottom vents at 1/3 open & top vent all the way open and it's holding at 230 for the last hour and fifteen. The IT is rising steady. Started at 40 and is now at 72 in 1.5 hours.
 
Well she held at 250 all night long like a champ now the butt is at an IT of 173 and it's been about 8 hours give or take. Amazed at how solid the WSM held the temp with no maintenence. Just need to wait out this stall and get that butt up another 20-25 degrees. I'm concerned I'll have to add coals but there seems to be a good amount left I may get lucky as the outside temp rises it's 8 am and about 68 right now. I must say I am very fidgety and I'm proud to say I never opened the lid to look at it yet. It's gonna be like a birthday present when I look at it for the first time. I'll be sure to show the pic. Waiting...waiting...waiting...
 
The butt (9+ pounds) I cooked yesterday in my Mini was done right around 13 hours. But I also was running the smoker at 270 for the entire smoke. Didn't peak until hour 8, had to stick the therm probe in. Gonna go pull the meat shortly!
 
Thanks Knifebld and dirtsailor2003 the over night smoke was my first smoke ever I see how everyone gets addicted to doing this. I barley slept and couldn't stop checking in on it. Now I have a good idea how the smoker will perform so I'll get more sleep next time.
