    New Hell Bender smoker.

    Just pulled the the straight smoked thighs. They seem tender and the small piece i tested tasted great. I would guess the hybrid cook will be betetr, just from past exp. That said the pit was a lot easier to control this time then last. I got a big coal bed going then let it burn down to...

    Hybrid chicken thighs.

    Out of the sous vide and into the fridge for 10 minutes or so. Little darker and a lot smokier smelling but other then that doesnt feel any different.

    Hybrid chicken thighs.

    Then after the smoker they looked pretty good. not a tone of color but it was a super clean fire since it was such a short cook. And then into the sous vide. I shoulda used one of my bigger containers. lol

    Hybrid chicken thighs.

    So, Cook 2 begins! Just put the thighs in the fridge to dry brine over night. I will be doing these 2 ways. Some straight smoked. Some smoked then into the sous vide in a tallow bath.

    New Hell Bender smoker.

    So finally had to go to bed and pulled the shoulder off. It ran good, small stall at 163, but then wierd happened. It got to 185 then just stopped.... it sat there for over 4 hours. I thought maybe ther was something wrong with my probe so grabbed a second one and it showed 180, however it...

    shoulder is still on but ribs are done and eaten. It was odd there was a lot less pull back on the ends then im used to. The ribs were the most meaty i have had in a long long time as well. That said they were about perfect as far as not mush but almost pull off bone. The flavor was...

    everything wrapped for the next few hours. As you can see there is still a bit of extra space.

    Wrapped the roast but didn't get any pics. I did get pics when i pulled the ribs to wrap. I pulled them a bit before I would have liked. I'm still working on the fire management issues, however the last few hours have been much much better so I'm getting there.

    New Hell Bender smoker.

    So Starting the first real cook. Got the smoker up to temp then added the pork shoulder. I can say it runs much different using my good ash. It runs very hot even with stuff shut down. so will be playing with things a lot during this cook. hopefully i dont screw the roast up. lol

    New Hell Bender smoker.

    So played with the door and over corrected and snuffed it down too much. Then got it pretty good. I like it opened up for more even temps but closed down some it runs better temps but less even. im sure there will be a happy middle. That said I did a biscuit test. And the cook was very very...

    New Hell Bender smoker.

    No, not planning any tuning plates. I closed the door some and droped peak temps down 20F on the next split. We will see how the low end looks, so it feels very controlable to me. Again wood is bad so some of its that. 1 of the splits i added gave me a high spike then was down to ash in 10...

    New Hell Bender smoker.

    So not bad tho the swings are a bit more then i normally want so I think I will try to cut back the incoming air a bit and see if it levels a bit.

    Post your Offset Long cook data!

    Thanks for all your info. Again im sure im not the only one who likes to compare. Those splits actually look kinda big, 4 - 6 inch. I assumed I would be respliting mine down to 2-3 inch based on you tube clips. Adding a split every 30-60 minutes with minimal drop/peak on heat would be...

    Post your Offset Long cook data!

    Also looking at your data. I see fast drops of 30F - 50F like every 15min. Then a recovery for the most part to slightly higher then orginal. IS this from just adding a new split? or is it from a spritz or mop? Just curious, because mine falls off a lot after a spritz but then recovers...
