Pork butt on Wood Dale Fleetwood

Early 1960s 26er action!  Smoking an eight pound pork butt today:







Been sitting pretty 250-275 all morning!  We'll see how it turns out this evening!

Awesome!
I love using my old school 26er for pork butts. My 26er isn't nearly as awesome as yours, but still a great machine for the job

@crowderjd , what was your coal set up?.. looks like a snake, and maybe a 3 x 3, 3 x 4?  Would like to give it a try in my 26r. Thanks.

I don't carefully "stack" my snake.  I get a good looking pile going around the edge and adjust as necessary.  I would say this would have been close to a 3x4, however.  It ran around 250-275 most of the day.  When another chunk of apple caught fire, it would spike to near 300, but I would just control the vents.  Put it on at 8:30am (I slept in), had to add new charcoal at 4pm, finished at 7:30.
