I brought the Classic II home and set it up. The next day, I brouoght home a 6.5 pound pork Butt and prepped it according to a video on youtube.com. At 2:30 PM the butt went into the Joe. At about 1:30 AM the next morning the butt came out, wow! (Next time I'll start earlier). We have been living off of pulled pork for a few days now; incredible taste and ease of prep.
