New Propane smoker, dead set at 225, yes, I checked with three different thermometers. First off, I'm not complaining here, low and slow is the key but I have NEVER had one take this long, Could it be because of the accurate 225 throughout the smoke?? In the past, I have done my best to get to 225 for a prolonged time with my charcoal smoker but had a tuff time usually. I can't think its the plateau, Maybe it is. Should I just let her sit till the magic 185?? Thanks in advance
