Ok. I'm counting on someone being up and on the forum this early. Quick question. Last night was my first butt. I Started at midnight. ALl te,ps in line, although it was raining very hard so I rigged our patio umbrella up over the smoker just to give it extra cover. Got up at 4:30 and temp was holding steady but when I got up again at 8 themp had soared to 300. Assuming I had some coals ashe off becuase I did not open the vents. Butt looks good and everyhitng is steady now. I am at 9.25 hrs. Will it hurt it to be so hot for an hour or so.

No. Won't mean a thing.
 
Did you have water in the pan? If so, it probably boiled off, eliminating the heat sink and you got a temp spike.

As Dave/G said, shouldn't hurt a thing...

Good luck!
 
Hey Jimbo,
I did my first waterless bb on Sunday and my temp got very close to yours around the same time....turned out great.

How did yours turn out?
