    Cooking my first pork butt

    oops never mind I answered my own question, I see the difference. The one I bought only does the meat there is not another probe inside. More for steaks on the grill thing.

It does say it's Digital wireless thermometer with a rapid read fork. It has a probe and says it's good for 100 feet. I am more concerned with the...

    Cooking my first pork butt

    Oh, my butts are in a cyro Vac. I will try that next time. I also inject my butts. It gets kind of messy with the juice squirting out of all the pin holes! I guess most of it stays in. Have you heard of a Maverick wireless thermometer? Is that something I should have?

    Cooking my first pork butt

    Funny, I had the same question. I'm cooking a butt right now. it's 9lbs, went on at 1am. Woke up this morning and the temp fell to 150. 16hrs later and the butt is just at 180. I hope it goes up quick, I'm starving! My cooker seems like it never gets hotter than 230? Is that strange?
