1st Pellet Smoker Cook Ever - Help Please!

[mbeutler1203]

Three more questions...

1. Where in the butt do I put the meat temp probe?
2. Do I put the probe into the meat after foiling just straight through the foil? 
3. At the final temp/probe tender if they finish early just keep them in foil, wrap with towel and throw in a cooler, correct?

Anywhere in the center away from the bone is fine. Just go right through the foil. You can foil, towel, cooler for many hours. So start early

Thanks Pappy.  Look like I am starting at 2am to eat around 2pm (hopefully).

It is a labor of love. Can't imagine how the stick burners do it. I just fire up the Mak and go back to sleep

I am hoping everything goes good at 2am. I have my maverick set to alarm if grill temp drops to 210 or meat gets to 155 which is when I'll wrap.

This is going to be awesome!
