Thanks for the advice gentlemen. I am still undecided on whether I will do burnt ends or not, it will probably be a last minute decision. Ya gotta improvise sometimes.
I am a pretty inexperienced smoker, I have only smoked pork butt 5-6 times and wasn't planning on smoking this weekend, However, when getting together with my Mom and the Mother in Law today, our burger cookout planned for tomorrow has turned into me smoking brisket that my Mom had purchased for...
I don't think the mustard will affect the bark coloring on a smoke this long. My first butt turned out with a great bark and absolutely no yellow tinge -

Turned out pretty good. Unfortunately no q-view, because my girlfriends mom had a health scare and we were kind of all over the place last night. Everything is fine now, just a scare.
Didn't get the great bark like I did with the Butt, but I guess that is to be expected with the much shorter...
My first smoke ever last week (http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/123377/first-smoke-pork-butt-today-some-noob-questions-w-qview), went well, so I am trying a pork loin today.

On my previous seasoning burns, I started hot (around 400) then turned the heat down. I turned on the smoker an hour ago, started low and filled the water pan from the start, and I am now holding steady at about 260-265 with nice TBS.
It's go time.
Thanks Martin. I will look into the needle valve this week.
It did seem to help when in addition to setting the burner on low, I also adjusted the vavlve on the actual tank to where it was almost shut.
Instead of the stock water pan, I did fill a large foil drip pan with water after I got the chunks smoking last night.
Should I add the water pan from the get go, or does it matter?
