    I will keep it in mind though, building a deck this summer & was planning on having it fairly close to the fence. Might rethink that.

    Will do. Pretty sure it's going to be breakfast... Don't think I can wait too long. Noted, thanks. Did have it reasonably away from the house.

    Credit where credit is due. You were right! 0630 and it's a little over where I was shooting for. Missed the alarm on my phone apparently, but the Mrs heard it outside when she got up. 146-147' now via my alarm, ThermPro read 152 once I got it off & inside to be wrapped. 7 hour smoke at 225...

    I do. Two probes, Bluetooth to my phone. Alarm seems to be louder than any alarm on my phone! Haha. The Mrs is a light sleeper, so I'll be awake if it goes off either way.

    I have an insulated blanket for it, so good on that front. Hmm, might just risk it overnight maybe it's in the table for lunch rather than dinner, worst-case.

    Really? ~13lbs, to 140ish... How long are you thinking and at what temp?

    Roast is going on tonight, probably around midnight. I'm thinking 230 and, if it's done by morning it can get wrapped and in a cooler. If not, it gives me time tomorrow to adjust temps etc. SPOG (and a little paprika). Trimmed/hacked, still working in that part.

    Couldn't make the time work this weekend for the 13lb-er, so opted to just do a couple steaks first. Ribeye for me, tenderloin for the Mrs. Overall, they were pretty good. Thinking Hickory was a little too neutral though. Didn't get the flavour I was hoping for. Will need to figure out how...

    Thanks everyone. Will bump the temp up as suggested, likely 250 range, will see what I can get the smoker to hold. Good call on using outside as a freezer. Heading into a warmer week, 10'C+, so this run may not be ideal - but will definitely use that for later attempts through the winter!

    Thanks! Not too worried about the sheer amount of time spent on it, I work from home so I have the time.... Although would be nice if I could rough ballpark it so it doesn't come up to IT during the night or something. Thinking an all day smoke, 10-12 hours or so..... Do you think I'm way off...

    Thanks both! Always been a jump in & see what happens kinds guy. Taking a look through bears step by step at the moment. Getting some ideas.... Not too worried if this doesn't play out fantastically right off the bat... Something to learn with. Just happy I didn't opt for brisket off the...

    Hi everyone! Scotsman, now residing in Okotoks, AB. Been debating a smoker for a couple years & with a gift card I won over Christmas, decided to jump right in. Bought a Z Grills 450A.... Seemed to be a reasonable entry level point, but beyond that not a whole lot of research was done...
