    Ahh higher at the end.  Going to try that next time.  Took it off at 165 degrees and pulled it for sammies.  Will try the butter under the skin too. Thanks everyone.

    Help a novice please!!!!

    I think you season it to get out all the factory residue and smells.  When I seasoned my smoker I just sprayed some Pam on the inside walls and did a test smoke to see how my temps were.  Hope this helps.
