Well, I am in process of my first overnight cook.
I peprared an 8.5 lb Pork Butt and put it on at 11 PM last night. I got the temp stabilzed at about 230-235 by 1:30 PM.
Goy up this morning at 6 AM to find the meat temp at 159 and the WSM still steady at 235.
I just opened the cooker at 8 and turned the meat over and basted with the apple vinegar solution.
Is it normal for the meat temp to already be at that temp? after just 9 hours!
I used the Brinkman water pan and just topped it off when turning the meat.
I also noticed quite a bit of smoke between the cover and the middle section seal. Is this normal or do I have a leak? The vents are at about 10-20% open.
