Still learning on the new pit and decided to do a practice cook this morning. I've had some radical differences on the reading of the thermometer and the temps at grate level as evidenced by the Maverick probes. For now I'm going with the probes as being the more reliable source.
I thought I'd test for hot and cold spots in the pit by doing the biscuit test. Got a bag of cheap biscuits at Sam's Club yesterday and threw them on early this morning. Had fairly uniform temps from left to right. Temps from top rack to bottom were about 70 degrees hotter.
I put on a butt about 5:30 this morning. I'll be put on a couple of racks of spares around 10 this morning and then put some thighs on around noon.
So far so good. Getting nice clean smoke. I'm using some red oak and hickory that I just picked up this week. Fire smells great. Here are some pics:
Fired the pit up very early this morning (approximately 3 am)
Biscuits Anyone? Hot and Smokey!
Pork Butt Taking In The Smoke
Nice clear early morning smoke
