This is my first time cooking boneless butts. Since the wind is crazy here in the DC Area, I froze the smallest butt for a later smoke.

SS that looks good, at that temp you may not have a big stall .

 

[savismoker]

Actually wouldn't mind the stall.....Kingsford Comp. burns so hot..waiting for coals to die down. Plus it's hella windy out.

 

[savismoker]

Three hour mark...

Oak log on deck...like to use wood once I get things going.

 

[tropics]

SS every time you open that door you are adding to the finished time, now leave the door closed I want to see the money shot

 

[savismoker]

I know...but it was open for spritzing.....temp recovers in less than five minutes....just bark building!

 

[savismoker]

Finally finished...what I thought was the stall was a misplaced probe.
