How many pounds, smallish like 5lbs or a big one?

With a rotisserie I'd wager you could do well with dual-zones and put the drip pan right in the middle. What are you envisioning?

Keep the rub simple and give it enough time to power through the stall to reach optimum temp, even if that means it's late and you eat something else and have to eat the pork the next day.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

My advice: tie it up good so it doesn't crumble and fall off.

Why spin it?

Do you have a wide pic of that performer?  Did you put two together?  Looks interesting.

dig that counterbalance!

Just curious? Are you shooting for pulled or sliced? 

I'm planning on rolling a tied 5lb. Berkshire Pork Collar with the EZ-Que cradle, cooking @350* and taking it to 145* internal, slicing it like a Loin.
I cook on: Backwoods Gater, Lang 36, Hunsaker Smokers, Pellet Pro 22" WSM, BGE's, WSM's, Cajun Bandits, PK Grills, Drum Smokers, Genesis Silver C, Weber Q's, Cookshack 008, Little Chief, La Caja China #2, Lodge Sportsman...oh yeah! Weber Kettles! Kamado restoration and pit modification hack!

Texas, you should have submitted that sweet custom for mod month!

It's like a performer stretch limo. Nicely done!
