    Dry butt

    Could be, but therm in the thickest part of the butt read 198. Rested wrapped in towels in cooler over 15 hours. Dunno. I'll check with manual therm on next one.

    Dry butt

    Smoked a butt on the new Smokin It this weekend. Pretty much the same method I've used on the other 25-30 butts I've smoked on the old cheap propane smoker. Rubbed it the night before, wrapped in saran wrap, and put in the fridge. Set it out the next morning and let it set for an hour or so...

    Bark is good. Flavor excellent, but a bit dry. Bone came out clean but not as easy as I’m accustomed to. Never had a butt turn out dry. It had been frozen. Would that make it dry? I had a tray under it to catch the juices so I poured that in the shred. Pretty good for first smoke with the new one.

    First chunks were not ash. Haven’t checked since turning it off last night. I’ll look after church.

    It appears my maverick is dying. One of the probes is reading about 20 degrees low. I had both probes in the butt I'm smoking now. One read 126, the other 156. I swapped them in location, and they didn't change at all. So, with the new smoker, I'm looking for a new toy to go with it...

    Just foiled the butt. IT at 160, bark is good. 9 hours in. This Smokin it is stress free. No worries about temps fluctuating. Only issue is the smoke not lasting very long. On my next butt, I think I'll set it up on Friday night when I get home from work. Add some more chunks before I go...

    No clue what the chunks weighed, but two 2" squarish chunks wrapped in heavy alum foil lasted about 4 hours at 225. Added two more chunks about the same size, and they lasted about the same amount of time. Just put another chunk about the same size in, and turned up to 250. IT is about 155...

    Good idea on wrapping the hickory chunks? When I seasoned it, 2 2" chunks were white ash after 2.5 hours.

    bought a new smoker

    butt is rubbed down good, wrapped in saran wrap ready to go on in the morning. After a suggestion, I have wrapped 3 2" or so chunks of hickory in heavy foil about the length of the wood tray, and poked a bunch of tooth pick holes in it. Get this party started in the morning. Any reason I...

    I did not soak them. I'll check the tray tomorrow to see if all ash. Just expected smoke to last longer based on everything I've read.

    bought a new smoker

    Barely. I opened it at 3 hours and no smoke came out. Held heat great. I have only used a kettle style propane smoker. I normally kept smoke rolling for 4 hours on a butt or anything over 10 hours.

    Had two chunks they sent with smoker in tray to season. No smoke coming out of top after 2.5 hours.

    The instructions said not to use an extension cord. How could that affect anything? My GFI on the patio got zapped by lightning. I’ve got to use an extension cord until I get that replaced.

    I read there should be no bark on the wood. Accurate?

    Gotta butt defrosting for Saturday. Keep it simple until I get used to the new unit.
