I got the pit temp up and fairly steady at 240-241* this morning. Meat went on at 7:10 a.m. I was hoping to be cooking at 7:00 a.m. but given the late night with buddies and whiskey, I'm not too upset ;).
Temps dropped to 174* when I put the meat in, but have been steadily climbing back up and, cross my fingers, look to be holding fairly steady in the 235-240* range. I have to just leave it alone, I'm sure, as I will drive myself nuts tinkering with it.
Everything looks good, though. Time to relax a bit and keep the Maverick on alert! I need some breakfast before I get back in to the whiskey :)
