I didn't take pictures, but the beef ribs were excellent. I was really happy with them. I prepared them just like the recipe being featured right now on the virtual bullet home page, except I used a rub suggested with the boneless short ribs instead of the 50/50 salt/pepper suggested. I'll definitely be making them again. They did shrink down quite a bit. They were three-bone racks. Definitely one rack per person at least. I could have demolished a second rack, but one was a perfectly reasonable amount of food.

The pork butt turned out decently. Great flavor, maybe a little on the dry side. I put it on just before 11 a.m. and it hit 190 just before midnight. It was 9 pounds with bone in. It stalled for a few hours at 160 and then just gradually climbed to 190. As for being a little dry, I only let it sit for about 25 minutes before pulling it because I had to go to bed. Next time, I'll probably let it sit for a couple of hours in the cooler. I've read that helps. I'll probably re-heat it by steaming it and then add a little sauce for dinner tonight and I'm sure it will be great.
