NO PROBLEMS!! The temp keeps going!

I will take an update pic in about 20 minutes when I spray some juice.

Lookin good! Have you decided if you're going to foil?

I use a ratio of 70% hickory to 30% apple for the time it takes to be done.

Staring at the temp display on the Maverick is like staring at the wall clock! It brings time to a screeching halt!!

CB, looking good!

I think I am going to try and keep it Old School, and not wrap it.  

I am saving the drippings, and I am going to mix them back in when I re-heat tomorrow at the potluck.

Nothing wrong with that !!!

As long as you don't Rant about it taking so long, like many guys do.

No foil can add hours to your smoke, but if you got the time, who cares.

As long as I dont run out of propane... I have time. 

I am at 151 IT, and I have 7 hours before I will get nervous about how late it is.  Hoping I will be good to go.

You shouldd be OK:

I just looked, on my Step by Step, I bumped mine to 260° when I foiled at 165°, and it took only 2.5 hours, not counting resting time to get to 203°. Then another half hour resting took it to 208°.

I was reading your Step by Steps before I got started on this. 

My emergency plan, should I hit a stall somewhere soon... If it looks like I wont hit temp by about 7-7:30 pm, I will foil it so I can get some sleep before work tomorrow.  Otherwise, I can stay up til midnight and enjoy the cool summer night air! 

 

[chalupabatman]

Hitting 154 IT now... 3 degrees an hour. 

 

[msuiceman]

not out of the woods yet, stalls can happen somewhere between 150-170. last one I did it was at 160 I believe... for HOURS.

 

[b-one]

Don't be afraid to turn up the smoker if you have too! Looking good so far!

IT 158
Smoker cruising about 253-255.

Still cooking?

 

[chalupabatman]

Yeah, I hit my time limit and had to wrap. Stalled pretty hard around 155-160. Wrapped it at 167 about 45 minutes ago, and we are at 174 IT now.

 

[chalupabatman]

Got 10 hours without wrap

 

[smokin218r]

Hang in there, it's worth it.
