Had to go into work today and I was "da-only" one there. Got home as soon as I could and then the wife wanted me to go back to town 2o miles to help her boss move some furniture, I did.
SO, at 4pm my time I started my first smoke job w/a 5 lb butt. Chargriller w/mods was at 325 FB side and 275 far side after the first 45....heck.
Jumped on this site FOR SOME INSTRUCTIONS and shut down firebox vent to 1/4 had it all the way open. Opened the top for 1 minute to cool a little.Exhaust is wide open.
At 1 hour FB side was about 270 far side was showing 210. I think it was still dropping so I put the vent to 1/2 open.
I used 3 chunks fist sized Hickory which I soaked for 24 hours (i did soak more). Rubbed the meat and let sleep for 30 hours. Rerubbed prior to putting on.
I will check the wood about every 1hr15min and not look at the meat ""
Its a learning experience I know. I am going to have to go get a beer to continue this evenings journey
