Live-updates: setting up first smoker and smoking a pulled pork shoulder!
Well I am on nights tomorrow night so I'll be up another 6 hours+ easily. No worries there. Currently risen to 162 in the oven so looking hopeful, but as I say, let's see :) Definitely need to sort out the charcoal situation though, I had a good look round for the Kingsford brand but couldn't...- ewanjackson

16 probes lol! I could actually code something like this very easily - something like a Windows Forms application in C# or vb.net would be so so simple to code. Only problem would be how to get the data itself. Couldn't do it with a normal probe without some jiggery-pokery.- ewanjackson

Live-updates: setting up first smoker and smoking a pulled pork shoulder!
OK fair point, and definitely massively noted! Will for sure not use water in the next one and see where that takes me. As it stands I have transferred it to the oven on 225 F. I don't see it as failing, just learning! I would have taken another picture but I was rushing to get it into the...- ewanjackson

Live-updates: setting up first smoker and smoking a pulled pork shoulder!
Ah yeah good shout on that. I do have the grate + ring that you mentioned. Might have to get some wire to do as you show. Shaken up the coals and there were about 1/4 at the back that weren't even lit it seems. Gave it a good move with a spoon and a lot of the excess ash fell through. Back up...- ewanjackson

Dang nice one. 21:45 - 4 hr 15 Meat 156 steady Smoker 214 Will give it a final shake and then have to admit defeat for tonight. Shame as the weather was in the 60 F ballpark earlier in the day. You mentioned the Maverick in the oven. How exactly would I manage this? just probe in and wire...- ewanjackson

Ah yeah good shout. Shook it up a bit, and took a 10 second look inside - there doesn't seem to be too much unlit charcoal left :( I bought a full 5kg 11lb bag and used all of it so I thought that should have been enough. Let's wait and see though :)- ewanjackson

OK I'll give that a go now. The stuff I bought is a no-name brand really, but it was the first briquettes I found in 5 shops, and wasn't exactly the cheapest stuff! 21:15 - 3 hr 45 Meat 156 F Smoker 216 F- ewanjackson

Live-updates: setting up first smoker and smoking a pulled pork shoulder!
Yes it has risen 149 - 154 in over 30 minutes so definitely hit it. Smoker has just dropped slowly to 219 F. Any tips, or just leave it as it is for now? There is a good amount of charcoal in the bottom, I guess it's just the low outside temp that may be affecting it. 21:00 Meat 154 F (stall...- ewanjackson

I have the feeling I'm speaking to a barbecue legend. Holy crap :P Hope to one day aspire to do things like that... The chicken cordon bleu is a personal favourite. Blue cheese is just amazing, but the girlfriend isn't a fan at all :( 20:45 - 3 hr 15 Meat 153 F (+ 4 F in 15 mins) - reading...- ewanjackson

Live-updates: setting up first smoker and smoking a pulled pork shoulder!
Ah well, it makes complete sense if you say it that way :P My next smoke I will do in the daylight. Currently been dark for about 1 hour over here... Today was a bit of a rush as the Maverick was only delivered at 11am, and today is my only chance to get a smoke done until next week. 20:30 - 3...- ewanjackson

I would have never thought you could do that kind of cook on a smoker like this. When I first looked up smokers I thought of ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Now my eyes are opened - bell peppers, potatos, now even eggs!- ewanjackson

Aww dude that sounds amazing. I freaking love eggs too... Meat has only gone up 5 F in the last 15 mins. Might be reaching the first stall :( 20:15 - 2 hr 45 Meat 145 F Smoker 226 F (Stable last 35 mins @ 225-230)- ewanjackson

Buying first smoker - any hints?
Well I had hail and rain, but I did finally get it going. Currently stable at 225-230 F for the last 40 minutes and the meat is slowly creeping past the 145 F mark. Thanks for the thought though, much appreciated! :D- ewanjackson
