First Smoke

[blackhawk19]

I put a 6lb Boston Butt on at 7:30 this morning, temps on the smoker
were hard to keep below 275 for the first couple of hrs. Now I have it
running about, using hickory chunks and put the last on at 135, will not
add any more.
On the smoker


31/2hrs into the smoke, meat temp 142

looks good blackhawk did that smoker come with the hole for your probe or is that a "custom" job? like ultramag said.. better take a couple more of that smoker if you like it looking new its all down hill from here (this is a good thing!)

 

[blackhawk19]

No, I drilled that hole and put a nylon push bushing in it, I also put a thermometer in the dome that reads in degrees and put a vent in the top

Looks excellent Blackhawk. I wish my first smoke had went that well. Did you try SoFlaQuer's finishing sauce w/ it?

 

[blackhawk19]

No, I read about that late Sunday night and didn't have time to get the
ingredients before my smoke, it sounds great and I'm going to have it ready for next time. I made one mistake on this smoke, I told my Son I would give him half of the meat and now I hate to part with it. I learned from that and next time I'll smoke two
