First Try Snake Method

[johncorvin]

Well this is a first for a lot of things. First time trying the snake, first long smoke on the Weber, and first time using a digital grilling thermometer (ivation). Plan on going to sleep after starting it which is also a first. Hoping the Weber can replace my chargrill smoker. From the 4 or five time I've cooked on it it has been way more stable on temp.

Should i do fat side up or down? Never done fat side down.

I've always done fat side up, but looking at that pic of your shoulder roast, I don't think it will matter. Most of the fat has been trimmed.

The ones I do usually have a full layer of fat on with the skin still attached as well.

[johncorvin]

Yeah think I'll do fat side up since I'm going to pull it anyway.  Love this rub.

Seems to have settled around 230. Hopefully it will remain that way for another 10 hours.

Keeps dropping,  will have to see how low out goes. I have the low alarm set to 200. Think it just ran out of the initial lighting. Should be running on the snake from here on out. Used the 2x2 size on this 22". If it gets lower may try 2x2x1.



Temp just dropped 2 degrees while typing this. We'll see.

It's my experience that the snake will run out between 6-7 hours. I would plan on refueling later. Also add a row if it's cold where your at. How are your vents?

Currently 42 degrees outside. Vents are opened a little more then a quarter. Almost halfway. Top offs full open. Temp went down to 223 then climbed back up to 253. That's where its at now. Thanks for letting me know on the time on that burn. Have a whole unopened bag of charcoal of needed. Still way more efficient then the smoker.

Its climbing. Going to test the high alarm at 275.
