Sounds like a great first smoke! And thankfully pork butts can be forgiving when it comes to getting to the desired temperature, even if it takes awhile
I've heard of the occasional problem, but no more than you may find with other entry-level priced equipment. I've had mine for about 6 years with no issues, and I know there are plenty of people on here who have had them longer.

Really? Strange... It was assembled into the bottom of the WSM when I looked at it in the store. I tried pulling it out, but it seemed stuck. I assume it was frozen to it at the time. Maybe I'll hit it with a weed burner this weekend (It's supposed to stay cold) and see what happens. Is it just...
