Title: Crutch question
Post by: delgrecko on January 30, 2017, 04:25:45 PM

Just got the PBC for Xmas and absolutely love it but  i am definitely still a newb when it comes to this smoking.  Doing a pork butt for first time and when using a crutch, i know you want it as tight as possible and air tight....Its still ok to puncture  the foil for thermometer though right?

yes, be careful though you don't puncture through the bottom.  i've done that twice now by accident when making a brisket and you end up with a big mess :)
