I started smoking a pork butt at 5:20 AM this morning. MM, no water, clay saucer foiled wrapped in water pan. Temps were good when I feel alseep on the couch and then realized that I forgot to set the alarm on my new ET-73 timer. The Temp is now 288 on the maverick and 265 at the lid. Have 2 bottom vents closed and one open a hair. Any ideas on how to get the temp back down to 250 or less?

Dont worry first off all i had spikes like that when doin PP and still a great resault.

First step close all bottom vents!

if it wont go down close the top to 50%
 
Albert - Just took it off. Starting to make the #5
and see how it goes. Pics to follow. Took 14 hours - temps pretty much stabilized. There was a
definite difference about 30 degrees from the lid to the ET-73.
Thanks again.
