HELP! Egg temp too high for Butt!
Options
Help! I'm 1 hour into smoking my first butt... and the temp keeps creeping to 300 degrees! I've looked at other posts and have put some ice cubes on grill... bottom damper is closed..top daisy wheel is slightly open.... any other suggestions? If I can't get it below 300... what does that mean to "low and slow"? Will I still be able to "pull" the pork when done?

Man-egg-iac[p]Just pull earlier and wrap and rest. Should be OK.

Man-egg-iac,
Don't leave the bottom door closed very long or your fire will go out. Open it the thickness of a quarter and your temp will settle down, 300 is not a problem. -RP

Man-egg-iac,[p]I agree, dont leave the bottom vent shut, or your fire will go out. Open very slightly and leave the top shut it may take a while but it will settle down and having it a 300 for a bit should not hurt anything.
