Ok, so it's been going since 11 pm last night, so far so good. I had the meat temp at 144 when I left for church this morning. When I got back, the fire had burned way down and my smoker temp was at 140. The meat, however was at 155. So it did cook some. Anyway, during the time it took to get the fire back up to 250, the meat slid back to 150. How long you reckon it's gonna take a 8 pounder to get from 150 up to 190? Cruising in the SnP, using lump to try to maintain 250ish
