    Help with temp setting on Pit Boss electric smoker

    Thank you for the reply. Once I figured it out, it actually produced a pretty good tasting rack of ribs. I had to run to the office, so when it was time to wrap, I put them in the oven to finish. Didn't really want to finish that way, but I couldn't be right here to babysit them. They're...

    Hello all, My uncle gave me a nearly new Pit Boss vertical electric smoker the other day. It's the one you can get at WalMart for $200.

    Who all finishes pork butt in the oven?

    It turned out really good. Went on the smoke for 4 hours, and then in the oven at 325. Not sure how long it was in the oven. Pulled it out when it got to temp. Was probably another 3.5 to 4 hours. Mixed some of the juice back in. Very tasty.

    Who all finishes pork butt in the oven?

    So this may be sacrilegious but who all finishes pork butts in the oven? I've got my very first one on the smoker now. I figure to go with 4 hours in the smoke and then wrapped with no smoke until it reaches the desired temp of between 195 and 200. Is it cheating putting it in the oven to finish?

    Howdy from Central Arkansas

    Greetings folks. Paul here from central Arkansas. I've enjoyed eating BBQ for nearly 40 years, but I'm just now delving into making it myself. I have a very basic Char Griller pit with smoke box, and I've had fun playing with it over the last month. I'm looking forward to learning from you...
