Thanks y'all! So today I found the thermo pen lol......it's purple(fastest color when you can find it
) (it was sitting on my box of rubber gloves!LOL) So here's my (sober
) opinion on SRG butts. Fantastic! The smoke flavor tho is just not there using the little thingy on the side. I did not have a "Tommy ring". I will definitely use the SRG for future butts. But I will smoke it in the Bradley first and finish it in the SRG. It is quicker and juicy. I've had the SRG for over a year and just never had tried butts. It was my favorite for chicken(now the PBC is) and for grilling at high temps.
