Reply to "Seasoning new Amerique with meat?"

Somewhere in the CS literture you will find that they say it's ok to put in a fatty chunk of beef or pork for the seasoning. When I got my 055, I smoked a butt overnight for the first use, and understood that it was 'experimental'. That is, it will probably turn out ok but a new unit tends to have larger temp swings at first. Mine hit plus/minus 45 degrees from the set point of 225. Haven't checked it since but I am sure it has evened out.

And at some point in the night, I lost my connection for power and the power was off for 2 hrs, but it still was a great butt when I finally got it to the right temp.

Go ahead, do a butt, and eat it... it will probably be great but don't blame much on the smoker if it isn't.
