This was my second smoke..... and well It didn't go exactly as planned. Three quarter of the way through the smoke, my temperature probe started going haywire. I unplugged the temperature device, leaving the probe in the meat so I didn't have to open the door and plugged the probe into a different temperature device. It read 199 degrees. I power cycled the device and again it read 199. So At this point I opened the door and plugged in my second probe (with the correct end to it). At this point I was getting two different readings. I closed the door and decided to use the reading that I thought was correct. After another hour, the devices were reading the same. I figured by opening the door and fooling around I probably added an extra 2 hrs to my smoke. I had planned on the 7.5 lb bone in butt to be done at 6; however, at 6pm it was only at 181......... Good enough for me. I figured I would slice it up. To my surprise, It pulled rather easily.
