Title: Maiden Voyage!
Post by: squirtthecat on November 12, 2016, 12:08:03 PM

Well, not really.   It had be used once, and I did some pork chops last night in the dark.

Anyway...   Big 9lb butt, split in half.    SnS+ full to the gills w/ some shagbark hickory on top.   I used some hot coals from my WSM to get it started.

Using my favorite for butts - "Salt Lick Clone".

My new 'Smoke' is riding shotgun.   Heck of a range on this thing.

Obligatory guard cat.

I'll check it again before we go to Church.   It will probably finish in a slow cooker, as I got a late start.

22" Weber Kettle.  My currently-out-of-commission GMG is next to it holding the Thermoworks Smoke transmitter.   8)

OK that makes sense but it look like you grafted another smoker to the a Weber. ;D ;D ;D

Still hanging tight at 224°.   I'll give it a peek in an hour, then we have to head out for a while.

2PM.   Still have lots of fuel left.  I tossed in another handful of briquettes and sealed it back up.    Will check again later after Church. (6-ish)

Last night's pork chops for dinner.    :D


Struggling to stay above 200...   Just opened the vents up wide.   It's pretty cold out now.  I'll let it go a while longer, then bring them in and finish propped up in the slow cooker.     

Impossible to see what I'm doing out there anyway..

(https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15056286_1325883340779475_2005940229547062096_n.jpg?oh=331762dd56b2d4fd2e33ba6062291db0&oe=58CC2D1F)

So far, I'm amazed at how well this thing works!    I'll put on another butt first-ish thing tomorrow morning.   I started late, and didn't get the temps dialed in until almost Noon today.

We won't go hungry tomorrow...   I did a couple butts on the WSM last night in the dark (and throughout most of the day while I was tinkering w/ the SnS+).

BOOM.

The kettle is still holding on at 185°.   I'll pull them in 30 or so and move to the slow cooker to finish.

We live to fight again tomorrow.

Round 2 today...

I see why I couldn't get the temps up last night.   I was using Briquettes, and the ash build-up was choking out the air flow.

Just fired it up with R/O lump, and dialing in temps now.

7 hours in...   I'm going to wrap them in a pan shortly.

Both probed at 170-ish.   Wrapped tight and back in to finish.   We'll see what they feel like around 8PM.

SnS+ is definitely working better with Lump...

We had some of the Friday night/Saturday afternoon WSM butts for dinner.   Tasty!

Gotta start vacuuming sealing all of that shortly.
