Good night for some butt.

MrCookingNurse

Did a little piece of a brisket last night. Made some good sandwiches. Got the egg rolling around 250 right now sitting in the porch swing about to toss two butts on.

It was actually really great @Scottborasjr the wife loved it. I think it was just hitting the right temp and it coming from a good cow. Was a funny looking piece of meat though.

The xl stays a lot steadier low than my large did. It loves 200 dome. 

Scottborasjr

I can't hold under 240° with my large without a controller. No experience with an xl, hopefully soon

MrCookingNurse

@Scottborasjr was 200 dome 196 grate 6 hours ago when I went to bed, it's the exact same now. IT is 158. Opened the daisy wheel to start sneaking up to 275 so we can speed this is. Butt is for lunch.

MCN....I believe you live here in Miss. I live in Brandon MS. We're practically neighbors! :-)

anyway, that's good to know about the XL holding steady. I am getting one this week for the office. Gonna be doing some big cooks for everyone. Also going to be teaching one of our guys how to cook on the egg. 

Question.....are u using a lump reducer or do you just load it up
Like  you would the large?  I know for a overnight cook you would but what about a 5 hour cook? 

MrCookingNurse

@loveTheEgg Yes sir I was in Mississippi. We moved to west tenn after the first of the year. 

Man im loving The XL. They are all different though it's crazy. I've had a large small and now an XL. I do not have any link reducer as of yet. You can just put small pile of lump or just put lump on one side. Someone mentioned just using firebricks and that's what I plan on doing. I wanted more of the angle L brackets than j did the lump reducing ring. 

So so for the XL has not disappointed and is a rock star. Your gonna love it. 

MrCookingNurse

Butts are in the oven. Coming on up. 185 right now. Wife said I couldn't come to church smelling like smoke so going to shut down the egg and shower. 

Got some towels in the dryer getting hot to wrap the buts with FTC. Really need some hot bricks and a yeti but maybe In a month or so I'll have an @SGH cooler

MrCookingNurse

And my oven just caught fire....
