I did a couple pork butts yesterday with some apple wood on the charcoal. Decided to experiment with some cinnamon in one of the rubs and it turned out awesome. Highly recommend.
How long did it take?
7 hours cook time. It was one butt that I cut into two pieces - I would estimate about 3.5 lbs each not including the weight of the bone in one half which took a little longer to finish. I had the bbq nailed at 233* for most of the cook, but I did wrap with foil for the final 90 minutes to power through the stall since we had guests over.
I like taking a larger butt and halving it for more surface area/bark, shorter cook time, and the chance to make different rubs.
I need to install a proper thermometer on my Weber. I've always just guessed, and usually I'm right. I mean I'm a Weber whisperer when it comes to controlling airflow and when to add more charcoal. But I'd like to be more precise moving forward.
For temperature, I have each of these. Both have shown to be accurate, although the wireless one just took a dump and is getting replaced under warranty.

Oh, I mean for the Weber itself vs the meat. I have the most cheap OG version of the Weber 22inch kettle which doesn't come with all the bells and whistles like you fancy Kent cuntry club one.
Yeah, both of those measure ambient temp in the grill much more accurately than the lid thermometer does.
