And a few lessons learned.
1. Do not put your probe cables between the lid and middle section, even if it works on your performer and the cables are thin. Took some juggling with a face full of smoke to change it around. Rite of passage, I suppose.
2. The DigiQ 2 did a great jib of getting the cooker up to temp. In fact, it overshot by 10 degrees after an hour and it's been hovering there since. Closed the damper to 40-50% and it's not rising at all, in fact I just went outside to check and its dropped 2 degrees since I started writing this.
3. The WSM is a tank once it's running. Hard to believe the amount of smoke coming out of it in the first 2 hours.
4. Pork butts (two 8 pounders) hit 135 in next to no time at all. Just about two hours, in fact. They seem to have hit the plateau now though and are sitting comfortably at 138.
I've got my trusty Maverick on my night stand and I'm going to hit the sack. Have a good night everyone!!
