 Special rub? and I don't see any hi-tech temp probes sticking out.

Dixie Dirt.  And I don't do high tech.  Ol' timer thermometer and a taste every now and then.

I have not asked for the recipe for Dixie Dirt. I have not asked what time dinner is served. I have not made a "crack" about what your raw roasts resembled at the zoo in Primates.
Ahhh crap. What is Dixie Dirt??

I am pretty sure that I learned about it on this forum.  Instructions say to "Rub generously on your butt and cook slow"

Lookin' good! I don't use electronics either ML and I'm with you on the sip and peek method. BTW, I just got up out here in Albuquerque and you've gone and made me hungry; time to shower up and look for some authentic southwestern food before I head into work.

Yes, you will need "credit cards", as in plural.  I bought mine back in 1996 before they were cool.  I also got the medium and would recommend at least the large to everyone who's looking.

for moisture during low and slow cooking? Could not see one from your photos.

I use a water pan when I am doing low and slow.  Catches the fat for use in other recipes.  I have a source for a pan that excels what the BGE folks sell... round and fits in the setter perfectly.  This source also has a grate that comes up to the rim of the egg, which makes pizza crust handling much easier.

Ditto large.  Perfect size for me.

I use one all the time for smoking and slow cooking.....it's just a 12" round x one inch deep aluminum pan (with handles) that we bought at the Children's Harbor thrift shop for 50 cents. Works great.

I have a Large and an Extra Large. I prefer the XL even if I'm cooking something that would fit on the large because of the extra area for circulation. That said, they all get the job done and are all great cooking appliances. The XL will use more coal if that's a defining issue. If you will always be cooking smaller portions, a medium or large will be fine.

I have gone both ways.  The butts sit on a square grate that is just the right size.  Before I got the plate setter I would put a shallow pan with water right on the BGE grate and the butts on top of that. The pan is an old fry pan that I took the handle off of.

Now with the plate setter, the BGE grate is out, the setter lets sit on the fire wall frame, and the butts (on the square grate) sit on the plate.

I think I like the no water method the best  (1) I like the outside when using this method (2)  there is always that part that sorta sticks to the square grate when I pull the butts off.  That is the best part.

I use a rectangular pan and most of the time little or no water for slow cooking. It catches the fat drippings. I buy my pans in bulk at Sams. Pretty cheap per pan.
