    HELP--After 21hrs @225 the pork butt only reached 182 degrees, WHY?

    I just did a 6 lb. butt ar 180 for 19 hrs. and it was 176 bumped it up to 215 for 2 hrs it was only 180 bumped it again to 250 and foiled had 205 in about another hour.  Yours was almost twice as big so if you were just 10 or so degrees off it could take that long ,imho Bud

    First Butt on repurpsed Smoker

    Thanks for the comments.  It was the first time smoking on anything other than charcoal and wood.  Since I didn't"t have to babysit the smoker, I wanted to do this one LOW AND SLOW.  I have decided there is such a thing as too low, while this came out great, I will use higher temps in the...

    Tjohnson, I used a cutting wheel for a hand held grinder to cut the stainless, after you first get through it cuts pretty easy.  I used bi-metal hole saws to cut in the inlet and exhaust, just go very slowly and don't use much pressure.  Hope that answers your questions. Bud

    First Butt on repurpsed Smoker
