First pork shoulder with new DigiQ II, small probl

I’ve got my first pork shoulder on the grill. I put it on last night at 9PM. I started the egg at 8 PM and I had a small problem stabilizing the egg at my desired temperature of 225. I installed the fan in the draft door per the instructions but there is too much leakage around my hardware. With the DigiQ II controlling the temperature from the start, it overshot to 290 before I shut the fan damper down. I used the supplied aluminum tape and sealed the damper as best I could.

I still had to close the fan damper to less than 1/3rd to control the temperature. I have the daisy wheel stopped down to a sliver. All is well now and at 6AM the egg was still at 225 and the meat was at 164. I’ll keep you posted.

Pork shoulder seasoned with Dizzy Dust and mustard.
