I never thought of that. It usually rests on the work table but I needed a place to kick up my heels while drinking my beer.
Seemed to work out just fine and when I pulled it off I didn't notice the back being too hot.
At 2:00PM she got double wrapped in foil and transported to the house where the oven was preheated for 275.
Temps started to climb slowly and at 4:15PM she hit 203 internal. A ten hour session! Wrapped the butt in a towel and placed it in a cooler to rest for an hour.
When we unwrapped her at 5:15PM the results were worth the wait-

That looks like one great day. And good food.
I haven't seen that mustard sauce, I'll have to look for it.
I have to look for that mustard sauce too.
@G19 I may be wrong but that looks like what's normally called "Carolina" BBQ sauce, which is mustard-based yellow stuff popular in the Carolinas. I'd also widen your search for "Carolina" while browsing the sauce aisle at the store. Now, I can't say if that's the eastern N. Carolina variety for example, but exploration is what makes it fun.
@addicted-to-smoke I think you are correct. Thanks
