It's been awhile since I've done my last smoke and decided to do one of the wife's favorites, pulled pork. I pulled out the 10lber i had in the freezer already all rubbed up and got it nice and defrosted. Got the Smoke Hollow dialed in and got some Jack Daniels chips in the tray and the pork butt in at around noon.
Was having some problems getting the smoker above 215ish (which no the problem is obvious) but it was going steady. Did my last check at 9pm, prok butt sitting at 153, and went to bed. Woke up at midnight for work and to my surprise the smoker had gone cold, check the temp of the meat and its sitting at 120 :(. Looks like the reason i had trouble getting temps up was due to a gas leak, only thing i can think of since this was a new tank.
So got the oven at 225 and threw her in. Got over the 140 mark so i know the meat is safe, just not sure if its going to taste good once i get it up to 200.
