Two butts and a brisket going to work. One butt going to the neighbor. One butt going in my fridge.

On at 10:00 pm on Tue night. This morning at 3:30 my maverick gave a false 195 reading. The smoker was holding steady at 240. I bumped the heat up a bit and went back to bed.

At 6:30 am the smoker temp had dropped to 178. I don't know how long it had been that low but my guess is about an hour. I need a guru.

I foiled everything since I am on a 12:00 pm deadline. At 8:45 pm the internal temps are up to 185. Should be right on time for 3:00 pm feed.



All the meat was off the pit by 10:00 am. If I hadn't foiled, my timing would have been better. Drum smokers cook a little faster than wsm's also.

Now I am looking at a 5-6- hour rest. :x

I have a dog that is older than my kids. He is having trouble getting around in his old age so I had to help him out by building him a ramp this past weekend. ;)

I had the opposite experience on a Brisket about a year ago. Got cocky with the WSM and went to bed. I checked the meat in the night to find that the side door had fallen off (didn't have it shut completely) and the cooker was running above 300 :cry:

Can't wait to see how your cook turned out.
 
Cliff that is a super nice thing you did for your dog, he appreciates it for sure! Make the other side to it and I can come to visit you!!
 
Nice lookin butts Cliff :P It's nice to see that you really care about your pet. People forget that they are a part of the family. Well done!

I just burned my dog ramp and added steps. :shock: :LOL:
 
That looks like a dog with great experience, wisdom, and dignity. Helping him get up to the porch without having to be lifted is a kindness that will be amply returned in karma.
