My question is, I’ve read about large pieces of meat hitting a plateau around 150 degrees...wait it out and it will rise. I was smoking a fairly large breast over the weekend and sure...

    New in central Massachusetts

    Hi all...I’m new to the hobby. Fired up an 18” WSM last weekend for the first time. Happy with the cook...just a couple of whole chickens. Turned out pretty damn good in my opinion. Lol! Had a bit of an issue with temp going down at the end but attribute that to not enough fuel at the...
