In my next comp I am going to cook 2 meats, Mac will cook 2 also. I needed to know how long my 22.5 WSM would drop from 350 to 270 since I plan on using the 22.5 for both meats. I will cook my Butt at 350 then remove to hold. I then will cook birds at 270.
I fired up the WSM with Lazzari mesquite lump to 350, no meat, I held at 350 for 10 minutes to assure stability. I then closed all vents,top and bottom until cooker reached 270. I was a bit concerned that I would extinguish the coals all the way but they stayed lit. It took 17 minutes for the temp to drop to 270. I then opened all vents( I have 4 intake and 2 exhaust). Temp continued to drop to 250 and started to rise. It took 10 minutes to level at 270 at which time I put my beef ribs on. MMMMM can't wait to eat.
Hope this little experiment helps someone else who may want to do the same.
Happy labor day!!!!!
