Like Demo said, it could reach 210 or higher before toothpick test passes, just hang tight, you're almost there!
It is nasty out there right now in eastern wa. Hail, rain, gusts to 50. I really wanted to get a butt on the UDS today but I guess I will have to wait for tomorrow. I am going to struggle through some more burgers later though. Hang in there. It will all be worth it.Yes the wind is killing me right now! You have wind today as well? :) seriously it is windy!
IT dropped to 205 from 210. Kind of strange. Just going to keep it on there for a while longer. Getting close to having to add more fuel which I'd like to avoid.
Now for the true test of patience. The 2 hour rest. lolYeah it's been hanging in there OK. I need to add more fuel though.
Edit: just poked it. Super close. Getting excited now.
I would agree Bryce,
Well, not my best cooking. The edges were bad, really bad. Flavorless and like roast beef. The inside wasn't all that great but much better. Pretty good texture and moist but missing flavor. Also, virtually no smoke right, what gives?
Anyhow, not giving up. I'll try this again some time. I think I need a better grade of meat and will leave it in even longer. So far beef just isn't my thing.

Thinking it might have gotten too hot too fast? The edges were just nasty.
Thanks,
