    Opinions on my first smoke?

    Thank you.  I'm definitely removing more fat from the outside and applying more rub at the beginning next time.  None the less, it was super moist, a bit greasy from all the fat, and the bark... I now know why they call it bark.  So delicious.

    The stock thermometer for the smoker temp and a CDN digital thermo for the meat.  The butt just hit 190, so it's resting now.  I let the digital thermo sit in the smoker and it went up to 270, and the smoker was halfway past 250, so it seems they are on par give or take.

    Thank you.  I feel that it stayed out of the danger zone.  Only two of us eating it so if we got sick, it's on us. It's at 189 right now.  When it gets to 190-195, I'm going to remove the temp prob and sit it in the smoker and see if there is a difference between the analog and digital...
