Looks great teerhardy. Can you fill in these info gaps for the unexperienced?
You weren't home, but knew the temps it was at?
From what I THINK I remember reading, something around 225 for a piece that size should/could take longer than 8 hrs. but since you were closer to 250-275, is that why you knew to come back sooner, rather than expect it to take longer (if say, it was at a lower temp I mean.)
