Smoker 228 stable
Have pulled the potatoes off for now as the girlfriend doesn't want to eat until about 8pm (5 hours or so) so gonna leave them in the oven to cool slowly for a while before putting...

Smoker 225 - vents at 25/25/25 but will have to open slightly I think as it has fallen fairly quickly.
Check the stuffed potatoes and they are coming along nicely. Cheese is just starting to melt. Been in 3...
