Is it wrapped?

If not wrap it and kick the temp up.

This is what I'd do as well at that point. You could still be looking at 4-6 hours. I always alot 2 hrs per pound. If done early, great.

Well I’m up at 4am should I let it roll through the night?? Not like I’m trying to eat it tonight

Wrap put on 200 and let it go all night? Or is that a bad idea.

You have a thermometer (app tied to your phone) that will alert you when you hit expected temperature? If you do I'd probably let it roll.

I'm betting it'll be done and ready for wrap before midnight

I don’t do midnight…. lol no fancy phone app. My plan is wrapping like you guys said but instead of cranking heat and rushing I backed it down… (was 225 went to 200) and I will get up a little early (2 or 3) pull it and toss it in the cooler to rest. I THINK it is wrapped really well to hold in juice but that’s what I always think …. Maybe I should pull it a little further from the new garage………

On the bright side it is looking good

I love to cook, and my goal, at some point in retirement, is to cook for others....

Anywho....

How about a fun thread of stuff we've created and are proud of?

I can cook…. Some would even say I am a good cook. But I CANNOT make my food look good in pictures.

My family owns a restaurant. If you truly love to cook and retire, Don't get into the restaurant business. You won't be cooking you'll be running a business. Hiring others to cook, wait, host, wash dishes, and manage staff. You will be doing paperwork, payroll, sales tax, renewing permits and licenses, going to mandatory "servsafe" classes, and herding cats trying to keep staff happy,

Yes I can cook, yes I can make it look pretty, but for dinner tonight we made Manwich and frozen fries. Another thing, when you do it for money you don't want to do it for fun.
