I smoked a Picnic & a Butt yesterday. This was the first time I've smoked two chunks of meat at the same time in my WSM. Average Temp was 250F and I had a digital thermo in both chunks. The Picnic on Teop rack and butt on 2nd rack, and had water in the pan. The highest I could get the temp was 187F and that was after 20 hours of smoke. I pulled the picnic after 187 and the butt after 183. I noticed the picnic actually started to slowly drop in temp from 187.8 to 187.1, and there was no drop in temp on the lid thermo while this was happening. THey both pulled really nice, so that wasn't a problem. Ive never had a problem with reaching a temp,so I'm curious what might have been happening?
