My Model 55 arrived last week right on time. Smoked a 9 lb IBP pork butt that was absolutely amazing. Took a little longer than expected ("It's done when it is done", right?)but it was worth the wait. Started smoking at midnight at 225 degrees for a scheduled finish time of 6 pm the next day (2 hrs a pound. At 6 pm the internal temperature was 188. Kicked the temperature dial to 250 degrees which provided the wanted 205 degree internal temperature near 8 pm. Great bark and very juicey on the inside.
I want to thank all of the CS Forum "experts". After having read all of the posts on the Forum regarding how to use the smoker, I was able to get perfection (at least for the taste buds of my family)the very first time.
