Original gasket burned off so I replaced it this weekend and made some pork butt.

Homemade BBQ Rub, 5 chunks of Smokey woods Apple Wood, Big Green Egg lump. Smoked at 250 over a drip pan of chicken stock for about 6 hours until I hit 160. Dropped it in the pan, wrapped it, and cooked for 2 more hours until I hit 203. When I moved it to the lower grate where the pan was, the temp was a bit higher (around 275) but I went with it. Rested for an hour, pulled it and served with Sweet Baby Rays

First time doing this smoking/braising combo. It was juicy and tender, but I personally prefer to wrap it on its own and make up the moisture with a thinner bbq sauce. I'd also use only 3 wood chunks, or 4 with more lump.
