Forecast calls for periods of rain, low around 35. Chance of rain 90%.
I just put 2 Boston butts on with the smoker temp set at 250 degrees. I clipped the probe to the dome thermometer anyone think that will be a problem? This is my second attempt at a low and slow. The first time I didn't sleep well. Tonight I don't think I will have any problem.

I usually clip the pit probe to the dome thermo.
You'll be fine. -
Nice setup. Do you still have to daizy on top along with your vent. Did you make this vent?
-
Yup. Daisy wheel is under there cracked open just about a 1/8". I picked up the vent at the BORG. I forget what size it is but I measured my cap and bought something slightly bigger.

Joe, My DigiQ should be in today. Can't wait to use it. I ran conduit for power to my Egg "pad" yesterday. What size Egg do you have and what damper setting do you have your fan on for low and slow? I have a med. Egg and 10cfm (pit viper) ordered.
-
I have a large so I'm not sure how my setting will apply to a Medium set up. The fan damper was set to about 1/3 open and the daisy wheel was cracked about 1/8". All went pretty well except this morning I noticed the fan was running pretty constant. So I reached through the top grate and knocked the charcoal around with my ash tool. Everything went good after that. I believe there is plenty of charcoal left.
All together the cook went from about 9 pm last night to about 2:30 this afternoon. I pulled them at about 195 degrees.
Wind and rain most of the night and it held right at 250 the entire time. BTW I did a trial run yesterday with some left over charcoal in the egg just to formularize myself with how everything works.
