Would like to hear from you guys about what your desired top grill temp is when smoking... I know it may depend on what meats you are smoking, but overall what is a good average desired temperature...
I seem to be keeping mine about 250, whether I use the Minion method or the standard method of lighting the charcoal... I just seem to be cooking my meat faster than I read about your times on this board...
Yesterday I did the "Pit Pot Roast" out of Smoke and Spice... It called for a 7 hour smoke and mine was DONE in about 3/12... They recommend the temp be at 200, which I very seldom see here in postings... The meat came out tough and somewhat dry... I used both thermometer probes yesterday to see that they were somewhat accurate - and they were only 2 - 3 degrees off all afternoon... I started with a chimney full of Kingsford - when they ashed over I dumped them in the ring and filled to about 2/3 with unlit... At first the temp got to over 300* but then after adding the water and the meat ( the roast and 2 tenderloins) the temp fell to 275 and then down to about 250*
Any advice would be appreciated...
