Going tailgating before the Iowa game this weekend (GO HAWKS!) and I volunteered to bring pork. No smoker will be available there tailgating. We will have a gas grill. What I was thinking was putting the butt(s) on Friday night some time, maybe around 5-6pm, smoking them until we pack up to go...
I've done a number of brisket before, but this was my first on this new cooker. I fell asleep on the couch while it was cooking, that's when it ran out of pellets. I was using the probe that came with the cooker.
Well, I think the problem was the smoker got TOO hot because it ran out, and pellets got dumped.
As for prime, that's all they have at Costco. And it wasn't really that much more than non-prime at Wal-Mart.
I just did a dry run out of curiosity. First I ran it at 250° and left to right the temps were 250-260-240. I checked 9 spots on the grill and they were all close enough for me.
Next, ran it at 375°. Just did 3 spots at this temp. 350-400-400.
Doesn't really make sense to me.
One thing I didn't really think of until right now... Not long after I restarted it, I just happened to glance out the window and saw a big POOF and a ton of smoke.
Not yet. Need to get some scratch pads to clean the shield. Going to get some thermometers to put in the grates too to measure the temperature gradient.
Could that have been caused by it running out, then me restarting it
