Ken here from NC,
Been a lurker for a while, I have learned so much from this site, thanks for creating this site!!
Doing my first overnight cook with my WSM with a pair of 9lb boston butts, put on a good rub, and started at 7:15pm, so got a long night ahead. Used to have an ECCB, had to start a full chimney every 1.5 to 2 hours. ugh! But tonight I filled the fire ring w/wood chunks, apple and hickory, lit 23 briquettes and tweaked the bottom vents and now holding at 250 so far.
One question, I'm running about 30 degrees difference in the temp in the shoulders, not sure if my temp probe is too close to the bone?
The butt on the bottom is running the hotter of the two.
Thanks!!
Ken
