Just realizes that my meat temp has been at 141 since 11am (4 hours ago)... after some shuffling around, it looked like my pit temp dropped, so I started poking around and it looks like the ash from the cowboy lump charcoal was too big to pass through the grill basket that I'm using for my...
Haven't done the tests yet. The new remote one was within a few degrees of the thermostat here yesterday... that's as much as I did.
edit: tested the instant read meat thermometer and it's pretty spot on.

My sous chef, hard at work:
Taken a few minutes ago (6hrs, 140F):
It's weird, I flipped it and adjusted the thermometer probe, my temp went from 150-ish to 130. The new position was actually in a part that was closer to the grate.
OK, that makes me feel a little better... I put my 6.5lb (2.9kg) on at 7AM MST. It heated up so fast that I thought that something must be wrong. It's currently at 140F. Outside doesn't look as charred as a lot of them that I've seen on people's QViews.
Good luck :)
Seems to be going way too fast.... after about 1-1.5 hours I'm at 81* in the shoulder.
Temps in the grill are hovering around 220 using my imprecise methods of an instant read meat thermometer stuck in the side of the smoker. It tops out at 220 so it's tough to say what the real temp is, but...
It's 6:58 MST and I've been getting the CGSP ready for the past hour or so. (Little delay since I was up until 2am). Today is my second smoke ever... the first one since I bought the CGSP, really.
I picked up a 6.5lb pork shoulder and 8 chicken quarters (~10lbs.) I also bought the stuff for...
Welcome :)
I'm flying back into Cleveland today to visit family spread out between Vermilion and Cleveland.... let me know if you need help eating any of that food
Good luck! For what it's worth, I don't remember the soft food diet lasting very long for me. I think my desire for good food outdid the pain.
Also, Motrin worked far better for me than the Vicodin that I was prescribed. I had some 800mg tablets left over from a previous injury, but you can...
Yeah, I think I'll be doing the duct and the charcoal basket right away. I'll take a look at the reviews, thanks!
I was worried about the ribs since the temp was pretty far below what it was supposed to be, and it was tough to tell visually with all of the color that the smoke gave it.
