Ok
ok..its pulled and foiled...Is it possible to oversmoke meat? it didnt seem really hard (which I guess is a good thing) and the probe went in several places without a lot of resistance. I am going to check it (the temp) in 30 min....seems like it was at 177 or so when I came in -
Ok
about 4.5 hours into it now. The smoker is setting right at 250 and the meat is around 150. A couple of times the smoker cooled to less than 190 but it wasn't there too long. Mainly sit around 230 or so. I have sprizted it twice with Cap'n Morgan and apple juice (a 3 to 1 ratio). I'm trying to... -

Problems with Smoking Pork Butt
Yeah..it was really thick smoke, and when opening the door where the meat was, it would burn the eyes. Said it was Hickory, my guess it was I do have a digital probe (stuck in the meat) and it never got past 150. I think it sat there for hours. As for too much fuel, you are probably right. We... -
