Flying Blind This Morning

Recommended Posts

I started a Boston Butt cook this morning at 3:00 am for a 6:00 pm family party.  Lit the grill, added the smoking wood and put 2 huge butts on the upper grate of the 19" TT and closed the lid.

 

Opened the vents to get the temp climbing and sipped my diet pepsi.  After about 30 minutes, I heard the juices starting to sizzle but the dome temp gauge wasn't moving?????   WTH!!!!

 

Then I realized the end of the thermometer was probably stuck in the meat  :sad1: !!!!  

 

The grill was cranking and I didn't want to disturb the cook (plus everyone was sleeping in the house)...so I pulled the thermometer and set the vents where they were on the last low & slow cook and came to work.

 

I do have the meat thermometer in for internal temp but I'm going commando on the dome temp on this cook.

 

We will see what happens!!!!!! 

 

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!!!

I had that happen once and started tweaking the vents. Took me a while to realize the end was stuck in the cook - Yea it sucked. Had the temp all whacked out before the realization.

You did the right thing. Both of my KK's are very consistent with their vent settings from one cook to the next. As long as you know the vent settings you're golden. Let us know how it turns out?

So................................when I pulled the pork from the KK,  I put the thermometer back in the grill at the same vent settings and let it stabilize.

 

Not bad for guessing at the settings  :toothy10:
