Every time I smoke butt, the internal temperature gets to about 170 and then starts to drop even though the egg is still 225-250. What's going on??

    BBQNOVICE,[p] It called the plateau. This is when the goodness is starting to come alive. The fat and collagen are breaking down and rendering out. It will drop a few degrees and after a few HOURS start to climb back up..[p] Patience you need padawan for goodness to enjoy :)[p]
