Tried the snake method on a 9 lb pork butt in my Weber and it hit 205 in 7 hours
I'd always been a minion guy but decided to try the snake method last Saturday on a 9 lb bone-in butt for my brother's birthday. I laid briquettes two wide around the edge of my 22 inch kettle, threw 8 lit coals on one end, and let it ride with the vents barely cracked. Woke up at hour 6 expecting to wrap it and the probe slid in like warm butter at 203. I always figured a kettle couldn't hold low and slow for that long without babying it. Anyone else switch methods and get surprised by how steady the temps hold?
