JAPB - Just Another Pork Butt :) - UPDATED with Q-view
Trimmed, rubbed, wrapped, and into the fridge. This will go on tonight for an overnighter. I've never trimmed a pork butt before but wanted to try trimming off the big thick fat slab on the bottom to get the rub on the meat instead of the fat. This will go into the smoker tonight at some... -

Very disappointed
jsteel478, I have 2 bricks wrapped in foil on either side of my water pan which hasn't had water in it for over a year now. And sand in the water pan (also wrapped in foil). I'm one of those that does poultry at high temps. Like.... 350 is fine and if it gets to 375 I let it go. I don't recall...- yardbird

Burner flame adjustment (air/fuel) - FIXED! :)
OK, I got it. Even though I built an enclosure, I haven't got around to putting a front door on it yet. So it's 3 sides and a top. It's breezy today. I blocked the areas between the legs and the yellow all but disappeared.- yardbird

Very disappointed
To stay low temp on mine I open the top vent all the way OR you can try turning your burner control towards OFF if that gives you a lower flame than LOW. The problem with a really low flame is that it's very susceptible to wind. You need a good wind break to keep a really low flame. Actually, a...- yardbird

Burner flame adjustment (air/fuel) - FIXED! :)
OK, I was all happy about being able to get high temps in my Smoke Hollow and it would go low pretty easily too. But today I pulled the burner to really clean it, not just run a spider brush in it. I pulled it because I could no longer get rid of the yellow tips on the flames. They're not HUGE...- yardbird

Very disappointed
I have a little time today so I'm going to go out and clean my burner. This involves pulling the control panel same as if I was doing a venturi clean, but I also probe all the burner jet orifices on top and then blow compressed air into them. Kinda like back-flushing the pool filter. I'm trying...- yardbird

Very disappointed
If you get spider webs in the venturi, it changes the flame. It gets real yellow and sooty. I have a Smoke Hollow vertical propane smoker and had to clean the venturi yesterday. I've learned to check the flame about a half hour before I'm planning to light the smoker. It takes about 5 or 10...- yardbird

A house for my smoker...
OK, I've asked about smoker "shelters" before. It gets cold here for extended periods and I don't want to have the smoker under a tarp, or prop doors against it or whatever. So I'm building what will eventually look like an outhouse :) I had some leftover 2x4s and 1" thick Hemlock from building...- yardbird

First overnight pork butt
It pulled fine. It tasted wonderful. It just never reached that 205 temp. Texture was perfect... not mushy, not too tight. It was moist and .... just great, actually. Cliffcarter's comment about the probe test really fits in this case. When probing temp it was like pushing the probe into air... -

First overnight pork butt
OK, I'm admitting I gave up and pulled it out after TWENTY AND ONE HALF hours. Meat probe in several locations (just to be sure) said the meat temp was 190. I thought I might have to slice it. Nope. Bone pulled out clean and it pulled just fine. The bark was out of this world. My wife and son... -
