If that is dome temp, you are golden. I'm over 300 (257 grid) with the draft door and daisy totally shut. this could go sideways but I'm done. woodford has taken it's toll and time for bed. good luck all overnighters and we'll check in in the morning.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

Funny! Finally got the temps down. Woke this am and egg was 208 grid (240 dome) and brisket nicely in the stall at 160. I bumped it up a little and the egg is now 253 grid and brisky is at 158 (it's normal to drop a few degrees in the stall).Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

Strange went out to check on it and it had dropped to 200. What???!! Thought maybe my fire was out but no, gave it more air, I hope it is not like this all night!
It really is cheating.. But this is when a temp controller is worth it. Set the temp and go to bed.. No aimless wondering about the temp
I suppose chefs that use a temp controlled oven are cheating as well?

I don't think it's cheating. I just like messing with it.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Once again you validate the "better to be lucky than good" phrase. Of course with all the experience you do have a bit of an advantage over those just starting out.

When you have messed up as many as I have, there aren't a whole lot of things I haven't done wrong at one time or another!Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Sorry rock- I somehow missed this. As you now know, that's a perfect setup. How's it looking? Fire ok overnight?Rubmyrock said:Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Well woke up this am at 8am and temp was 200. That is the second time it drops to 200 over night what gives. Got it back to 275. Just remembered that I forgot to leave space between the drop pan and the PS. I am a little scared to mess with anything, my finesse is a little off for example the iPhone, I might end up dropping the whole thing on the ground. Should I just leave it or try to get something under there?

Lizzy you need to send that story to Otter Box ! Glad your phone survived, nice pic too !

Here is another question. The temp probe said 151 at 8:30 or 9 and now at 10:26 it is 174 that sounds a little crazy should I go out there and thempen it?

Don't mess with anything and the temp
Is perfectly normal
Leave it all Alone. You are in great shape.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Ok, not touching it! Just waiting! :!! You think I will be good to go for dinner?
-
Yep. You are probably headed for a stall here soon. It you are fine for dinner. It will be done earlier.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX
-
Ok, thanks.
-
WHAT now it is 192. Should I go move the probe?
-
Go slide the probe in a few places and see of its like butter.Not might be close. Mine is out of the stall and climbing too. Mine is at 170 and rising.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Make sure you are measuring in the flat (not the point)Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX
-
ok it has shrank so much! I temped it with thermapen in several places, 195 up to 202 , the point was 205, should I take that part off? Should I try the fork twisty test?How could it be done so early?
-
Don't take the point off. It's ok to be at that temp. Of your thermapen slides I. And out like butter, it's ready. No need for a fork.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX
