    1st chuck roasts in smoker Best ever

    First off thanks to all for posting their ideas and experiences  with this rather fatty, gristly and traditionally tough piece of meat However 2 of these bit the dust tonight with nary a fight.

    The smoker itself works great it holds temp very well. I do have to figure out the programming of PID as it turned off 4 hours into the smoke while I was at work. Its a good thing I called home because my wife was going to put in  the meat probe about that same time so while I was on the phone...

    I finally got around to installing a smoke vent in the center of back up high where the compressor lines originally entered only took about 30 minutes.

    Things are moving a bit slower now that the big items are done. Now its detail stuff that most people wouldn't see or care about that is at the top of my list like this morning realigning the bottom vent then masking around it and sealing, pvc fitting on hole for the stat wire to pass through...
