Granny's gone and done it again

I have a Weber kettle grill (the least expensive model) and something called a vortex that allows the charcoal to be placed in a ring around it so it burns slowly around the ring. I got 12 hours of burn time out of what would normally be used to grill a couple of steaks. I used some hickory chips sprinkled on top of the coals. I just light one end of the ring of coals and it burns it's way to a smoke to perfection piece of pig. You don't connect the ends of the ring. An eight inch spacing keeps the fire burning in one direction. As soon as I get some of these crazy roosters fixed so they can't crow no more I'm going to do some of them the way I did the butt for about 6 hours.

How do you keep it moist? I suck at cooking.
 
Speaking of butts mine sure does ache some tonight. It's the bending lifting feed bags that makes it hurt I think. I only have been taking meds twice a day instead of 3 times like prescribed. Going back to 3 tomorrow to see if it helps.
Just riding in the van does that to me. My back is killing me since we got home. It will be tomorrow too.
