Slow N' Sear Maiden Voyage
« on: January 22, 2016, 09:52:54 AM »
Doing a pork butt on the new gadget purchased this week. Ready to fire this thing up!

Got my butt seasoned and ready to go!

I also bought a M vortex. Can't wait to break it in with some wings!

Four hours into the cook and it's looking good with plenty of fuel left to go.

What size butt is that? Keep us updated on that cook!

It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Somewhat and kinda surprised by it. I've been running the temps between 215 and 250 but averaging around 225. I got up a few times because the temp keeps going out of range both high and low and having to readjust the dampers. With that said, it is quite windy here today and the temperature outside is about 45 degrees. I'm not sure if those conditions reeking havoc on my cook?

Sounds like a combination of the wind, temp, and just need a cook or two to figure it out.  The cold wind can really draw some heat off of the kettle.

Oh I already have a roti. Just wish I had the newest version. The one I have fits like socks on a rooster!

This butt been on for nearly 10 hours now and I just cranked up the heat to 270 degrees. I'm nearing the finish line!

Very nice color!  The temp fluctuations are definitely because of the wind.  Bernoulli effect from wind can draw air out more quickly than it would on a calm day.  That's just physics.  ;)

I flunked physics in high school so that knowledge of yours will go a long way with me. Thanks!
