Metalhead,[p]Quite shouting, I'm hear for you.[p]I'm coming up on hour 12 of my first cook with the Guru. I'm using my remote thermometers to monitor things, it's cold outside. I haven't made any adjustments to my initial settings. I attached the guru's pit probe to the pit probe of my maverick and according to the maverick I had the pit stabalized at 228 and it went to 232 before I went to bed, I woke up a couple of times during the night to do the "old man thing" and the first time I got up I checked the maverick for a pit reading and it showed 219, the next time I got up the maverick was reading 197. I finally wake up at 6:00 (an hour later than I usually wake up)to a pit reading of 228. I don't know why I had the temp swings during the night. A couple more observations, using my remote thermometers I'm monitoring the internal temp on both pieces of meat and one piece has consistently measured 6 to 8 degrees more than the other piece. I also have the guru's meat probe in one of the pieces of meat. I set the guru meat temp gauge to 195, my maverick's meat probe is also in this piece of meat, maverick is showing 168 and the guru is still flashing indicating that the meat is still 40 degrees lower than my target temp of 195. All in all thing are going pretty good with my first guru cook. I've got to figure a couple more things out prior to my next cook. [p]Harleyman.[p]PS. This is my first cook of boneless meat which may contribute to part of my meat temp differences.

Metalhead,[p]And good morning to you. Its so cold where I am, that if I went out to tend a fire, someone would probably have to build a fire under me to keep me moving. Happy eatin'[p]gdenby

irishrog,

-
Metalhead,
well lucky for me my pit temp came back up.....2 hours later and I am still at 250. I have a remote thermostat
stuck into one of the pork shoulders. Right now I am in the high 160's....shooting for 195

Metalhead,
we are a small but very enthusiastic group of eggers here in Ireland. The egg shop is like a meeting place on Saturday mornings when the heads who are off work call in to discuss tactics for the week.
We also talk about the guinness!!

Metalhead,
on my menu for Sunday lunch, a six rib beef joint, on the bone hung 6 weeks by my butcher and ready to go.
I'm finished work now for the day, and it was a nice quiet day for a change so I had a chance to communicate a little.
BTW the prospect of an Irish EGGfest is still on, I'll talk to the other eggheads next week at the shop, and drum up a bit of interest.

irishrog,
if you do it around Cork, (and i can work out the scheduling with the family!) i can make the trip over from the States and bring along several Irish friends from Cork who don't have eggs but know how to eat!![p]Ken
