I've tried a few cooks with an Auber with the larger blower, and never had what I'd call a "good cook."
My most recent was a butt I started about midnight last night. Started it up using Minion Method and a full ring of charcoal, set the ATC to 235, and put the meat on. Within an hour, temperature had spiked to 330, and held above 300 until 3am. Temperature gradually came down, but charcoal was completely depleted by 11am, so I'm finishing the butt in the oven.
So, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not seeing much to indicate that the Auber is worth the time and effort. I'm open to any suggestions.
