Rained ALL, repeat ALL day today - a total of over five inches here on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Didn�t want to use the oven because I wanted to use rosemary twigs and garlic for wood and my oven won�t set low enough, 140 degrees, for the final three hours. At 5:30 PM it stopped raining, except in spurts. Put CS55 on the deck and put porch umbrella over it to get started.
Inserted thermometer through the hole in the top of the CS55. Set temp to 250 degrees to warm it up. At 250 degrees inserted the wood box with five twigs of rosemary and a garlic pod. Slid the shelf in with the beautiful roast and tried to insert the HOT thermometer probe into the roast with a paper towel. The probe was too hot and the shelf not being too far into the Cookshack fell onto the wet deck - roast and all. Shut door, cussed some, took roast back in the house and rinsed it off under cold water, re-heated the Cookshack back to 250 degrees, made new rub recipe, re-coated the roast, cussed some more, put roast back on the shelf and this time with heat proof gloves, inserted the probe again and slammed the shelf into the Cookshack. Locked doors, set time for 40 minutes, After 40 minutes, reduced temp to 140 degrees and set back with a martini. I may have a second one.
I�ll let you know how it comes out in about three hours. If I drop it getting into the house I will know it wasn�t meant to be eaten.
