So yesterday I used my slow n sear using the methods they describe to go low and slow on my 26er. Everything was going fine for the first hour and a half, but then I had to leave the house unexpectedly for about an hour. When I Came back my temps were up around 270, but judging from the IT on my ribs, I must have had a big temperature spike while I was gone.
Today I decided to run an experiment using the snake method and the slow n sear as a heat shield. Here's what the setup looks like.
It's a 2x2x1 snake with 15 lot coals to get it started. Within 30 minutes I was at 245 with thin blue smoke coming from top vent
So far I've used about 25% off the coals and have been holding 240-250 with minimal adjustment for the past 3 hours. I'm logging the whole smoke, so I'll post the final results when it's done. But, I'm hoping this might help someone out.
