Yesterday, I made some BB's on my American offset cooker. Now, I must say that I typically do a hot and fast cook from 315-350 and usually finish around the 4 hour mark. However, for bark purposes, I decided to go without foil and just spritz throughout. I did not peek until the 1.5 hour mark and that was just to spritz and rotate, which I finished in about a minute. Thereafter, I opened the pit to spritz once every 45 min. For the first half of the cook, I kept temps around 250. However, it was taking longer than normal to get good color on the meat and so I surmised that this could end up being a long cook. At four hours, I boosted to my normal 315-350 range. It still took me a total of seven hours on this cook! Has anyone esperienced this before?? The weather was nice and warm and the winds weren't wild at all.
