hey guys,
I just moved 3000 miles from home for work. Back home, I had an Aldon Brown flower pot smoker with an electric hot plate that I extensively modded to suit my needs. It worked really well and I got pretty good at cooking 14 lbs of meat at a time. Direct heat remained a problem for the...
Pulled the pork at 1:55 pm at 198-200 IT and the brisket at 2:05 pm at an IT of 192. Currently wrapped and resting.
Smells AMAZING. Much better than last time's campfire mess.
I (mostly) took your advice. I woke up to find the smoker had ran at 245 all night and the wood had died down so just a little bit of sweet residual smoke. I got up to temperature for the initial cook around 1:00 am and went to bed around 3:30 with fresh wood on there before sleep, so it...

I am doing another butt and...
So I got some help from you guys in building it and in how to cook the pork, so I finally took the plunge and fired up my smoker.
I had some issues which I will outline below, but it was mostly a success. I identified 2-3 discrete mistakes that I can correct for next time. Some questions I...
