Re: Smoked Meat
[ QUOTE ]
[censored], it's already raining so I'm hosed. I hope it doesn't cool my smoker down too much but I'll head out and check the temp as soon as it isn't pooring anymore. edit to add: half the reason I don't want to go out right now is because my smoker is second hand and sorta old and I think there's a decent chance of it shorting out in the rain. I don't want to die. [/ QUOTE ] You're fine and it's not going to short unless the element housing is exposed. |

I didn't read most of this thread, but a Montreal smoked meat sandwich from Schwartz's is one of the finest things I have ever eaten

Just wire a new cord up when you dry out. |

Re: Smoked Meat
I did a fairly good job with the electrical tape, but it started raining hard enough again that I'm fine with leaving it on for a while longer before I go check it. I will have to rewire it sometime I guess but for now I'm fine with letting it smoke longer and check it in 15 min or so.

Re: Smoked Meat
Looks like I'm going to have to fight the urge to go to sleep and stay up a while because I threw the thermo in and it's still at 150. Going to be a long night seeing as I bought a case of beer right when I bought the meat [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Re: Smoked Meat
KotOD,
The thing popped (which is supposed to be 150) about an hour or so ago. I just stuck my thermo in the middle, and it said 150 which means I'm going to let it go a while longer. I think the rain prob did some damage to the heating, but it's done now I hope (raining that is). |

Re: Smoked Meat
Trip report,
Still drizzling outside and the meet is still at 150....... Moral of the story is don't try and smoke meet when there's a chance of rain. My water pan did dry out though which might have hurt the heating, I just put new wood and water in so I should have full heat again here soon. 8 hours in and I'm still not done though, I'm jealous of my roomate who just smoked ribs tonight. |

What temp is best for the finished temp on a pork shoulder? [/ QUOTE ] I pull mine at 190, double wrap in foil and rest for an hour in a cooler. |
