Smoking a 6.5lb pork butt today. 1st one I've attempted!
Applied the rub last night. Put it on the smoker early this morning. I've had the smoker for only about a month, so just discovering a problem with the thermometer that is on the smoker. Constantly reads about 200. Had my wife go out and buy an internal one and it reads about 325! Brought the heat down and all seems well right now at 230 degrees. The meat temp is 175 and I just wrapped it loosely in foil. Going to pull it out when it reaches 200 degrees. I'll put up some pics when I take it out...
