    Help!

    Also, can there be a second stall? My other one (which is on the top and furthest from the heating element) has stayed at 178 for 1:15... I've had that issue with top butt and bottom butt so I rotated them every so often this time... Any feedback? Thanks guys!

    Help!

    Al & one eyed... I related it back to 190 in fear that it was going to be done way too soon(I wanted to time them for mid afternoon for Super Bowl) and so the one butt was up to 170 and came all the way back to 147... Stayed there for quite awhile but has now climbed back up to 161... No chance...

    Help!

    So I intended to go low and slow with my 2 10 lb butts, smokin on propane, with wood chunks... I had dig therms (igrill2) set up to alert me when out of range (215-250). Went to bed and woke up 2 hours later to 325! I know there is a high and fast method but I wasn't intending on that...

    Brisket moistness

    Yes. Probe tested and was like butter… I wrapped it and foil put it in a cooler for 3 to 4 hours to rest and then sliced… I got it from my local butcher who has pretty good meat...

    Brisket moistness

    Also, many people don't use the foil pan method. If the meat isn't as juicy as if like, is there a possibility of not leaving it on long enough? His last brisket had NO stall period which I found interesting. When I've heated up leftovers I have done so with foil in the oven with a little...

    Vertical smoker temp issues?

    Good stuff Al. I have the igrill meat probes. I'll get an instant read to see about accuracy. Any recommendations on instant reads? I have gone off looks a little as well when fat is like gelatin and it jiggles. That's what prompted me to take off when I did on both. Bones came out pretty clean...

    Brisket moistness

    Tried a brisket for the second time in my DynaGlo vertical propane smoker. Maintained temps the entire time at or around 230-245. It was an 8 lb brisket I smoked with hickory chunks and a apple juice wet mop. I did not wrap it but did cook with fat cap up. I stopped at 203 internal temp. Not...

    Vertical smoker temp issues?

    Dave, True! I was pleased with the end result, just wondering the science behind it so that I don't roll the dice every time!!! I am going to experiment with my meat probes to see about temp regulation... Thanks Dave!

    Vertical smoker temp issues?

    Hey ya'll. Have smoked on my Dyna Glo vertical propane smoker 4 times so far. Some questions if you would? 1) when I have things on multiple racks is the top rack supposed to cook at lower temps than the one on lower rack? I got one pork butt to 195 and the top to 170. Pulled them and both were...
