I'm hoping to catch the drippings and make gravy, I'll let you know how it goes.
I'm thinking Cajun butter injected with a Cajun type rub.

Boston Butt
Just made a perfect Boston Butt. 3.5 hours(yes, that is not a typo). Perfect carmel color. Fall-off-the-bone tender. Amazingly moist. Had to add a little charcoal at about 2.5 hours. Spousal unit loved it.

Never heard of a butt being done in that time..... I usually plan for 12 hours for butt.

you must buy charcoal in bulk! actually If I cook a small roast I wedge chicken
wire in mine and go with a half fire, good for a 2 hour roast.

We cooked a boston butt last night. 6lb. Took around 3.5 hours. We made pulled pork sandwiches. Really good. My son also made barbecue sauce and onion rings which were the lightest and best onion rings I've ever had. Great meal.

No, I just follow the times in the book. I check the temperature when I pull the lid off. The 8.5 lb butt was 185-190 at 3.5 hours.
TS---I'm telling you, you will throw your big, time-consuming smoker away once you've tried one of these.

Orian
I ordered my Orian cooker from Truevalue.com for $130 (free delivery to the nearest TV store) on Friday and it came in today. I plan to cook two tri-tips on it tonight. I'll let the list know how they turned out.

Threw a birthday party for my wife yesterday. Cooked four 4.5 pound boston butts. Pulled them out at 3.5 hours; internal temp was 190-195 by thermometer. They were falling off the bone when I pulled them out. Damn this smoker makes it easy to be a hero. Between the four butts, and frying a wild turkey breast, fed about 25 people.

How's the smoker after a summer of use? I'm still on the fence, wanted to see how the smoker did over time.

Best piece of cooking machinery I own. Initially, it is both very easy and very easy to smoke meat. Also, since it is made of stainless steel, it is very easy to clean and maintain.
I cooked a tri-tip about a month ago. Took about one hour and twenty minutes. The thing was perfect. Essentially, everything about this cooker is easy.
If you are getting a smoker, get this one.

Doesn't this thing (orion smoker) make it fun to smoke your dinner?
