Put two pork butt's in at 6:30am, this is what happened inside my model 50. Pork butt internal temp was 45 deg, pluged in power cord set temp control to 225 deg after appox 20 min temp had reached 225 after 35 min temp had climed to 257 deg and stopped, temp fell to 205 at the 1hr mark then started to climb and reached 241 deg at 1hr and 15 min and then fell back down to 205 deg at 1hr and 45 min. seems like an avarage of 225 deg. Is this how it should be working?
After 5 hrs pork butts seem to be holding at 170 deg interinal temp, I thought about turning the temp up but decided to just let it go until they hit 190 deg. Is this what I should do?
