Hello! I just purchased a new Pit Boss Series 3 Propane Smoker (The Red one)and just finished my first Pork Shoulder on it. Used Weber's Chocolate Rub with no binder and used bourbon barrel chips and hickory chips. I usually smoke on my gas Nexgrill with a triangle smoke box but I was eating propane way too fast. Had some issues with the chips flaming out despite my having wet them prior to using them. I also had an issue with the chamber temps dropping drastically after 10 hours. Went from 275* down to 170*. still plenty of propane so I didn't run out of gas. I think switching out to my 30lb tank might help with the longer cooks. Meat is resting now so I'll post a pic of it in the morning. Hope to learn as much as possible while i'm around here.
