Reply to "Could my Q be this far off in cooking temp"

Well,I agree with Todd -on the years before my boys got my old 009.

One,the bigger load,the better it cooked.

I find most cookers find a temp where they like to cook.

I chart my cookers,and regulate my therms.

Mine liked to cook at an accurate 235º,when only one,or two butts.

More,it cooked a little lower.

Back on learn our cooker,verify our other equipment,take good notes,and pay attention to the changes.

As fast Eddy would say,sometimes heat is our friend.

I don't know of a published rule that says we can't cook at an accurate temp of 250º-if needed.

Make the cooker cook to our schedule.

I often ,would run mine for hrs at 180º,kick it to 225º to ride through the plateau,and turn it to it's max-about 255º,until I'd check the butts at around 192º.

That said,there are fine pork cooks that say the longer it rides in the plateau,the more fat it renders,and the better it breaks down collagen.

Just a couple of thoughts.
