Question on Temp Jump

Former Member

Put 2 PB's into Amerique at 6:00 AM, set temp to 250, wanted to see how a higher temp affects total cook time.

At about two hours into the smoke, I walked past the display and the temp displayed 305 Hot. Well, I did a double take, and considered opening the door, which I did not do, considered that the temps just flared up on the high side and would come down.

Meat temp was only 80, so I know I wasn't ruining the butts, but I decided to turn unit off, restart, and bumped temps down to 225.

Within 1/2 hour, display is at 225, all is well.

Thinking about taking the temp back up to 250 and see how the smoke goes.

Any comments appreciated.
