new to smokin and on here. I have a smoke hollow 44" gas smoker. So far I've done some while chickens and jerkey. Learning as I go. Toughest thing for me is I'm a grilled who uses high heat for everything and have anxiety about over cooking things. So this will definitely test my patients.

Welcome to the board! I came from a grilling background, too. Patience is important - think of it as being closer to roasting something in the oven. There's no substitute for time, especially for something like a butt that has to be cooked long enough to be tender.

Thanks. I understand and think I'm ready for this new challenge. Thx for the reply bud!! I'm gonna try some spare ribs next and then give the pork butt or shoulder a whirl.
