Hi Guys,
Got a problem with my smoking today. Not sure whats going on. Here's my story:
I have an 8# butt that i put on at 7am this morning. @ 11:00 I checked the temp and it was around 170*. That sound high for only 4 hours. smoker has been running around 225* to 245* ( having a hard time keeping at 225*). I checked my probe in boiling water it read 210*, so it's close. I have it in a foil pan wrapped in foil now. Also same prob with the brisket ( flat was at 153*, point was 165*, it is close the the SFB on my smoker).
I'm using a Chargriller w/ a SFB.
I've done them before and it took a lot lot longer to reach those temps. Any ideas on whats wrong?
I'm just gonna keep going till the butt get to 200* and the brisket passes the toothpick test.
Thanks for the help.
I'll have pics. later
