S'NS First Cook

April 12, 2016, 01:30 PM

Just about 6 hrs in, 4 pound pork collar. I just opened up and took a peek. A lot of fuel left, I swept and rearranged the coals and added more. The temp dropped to 207. I will post my cooking log later. I'm stuck in the Stall now.

Here it is after 6 hrs, one hour ago. Got my temp up to 273 now, time to close the vents down a little. Meat temp is at 163. Its is very "probe tender".

Here is the cooking log as of now. I want to eat sometime in the next several hours so I opened the top vents and cranked the heat to push through the stall.

We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

Thanks
This was a SRF Pork Collar (Berkshire). Honestly, kind of fatty and greasy. From now on I'll stick with a regular butt and save the money.
But, I'll say the SNS is amazing....I love it!!

Weber One-Touch Platinum (the discontinued 4-legged, dome hole in the middle model plus a Smokenator when smoking); ThermoWorks TW 3628 & Kintrex IRT 0421 for briskets & other long cooks; Taylor Weekend Warrior (for the lanyard, not the cooktemps) & several ThermoPens for all others. I fully embrace the Minion Method and use Kingsford classic briquettes & Cowboy hardwood charcoal exclusively. Dry woodchips, of course. Beer - Devils Backbone Vienna Lager; bourbon - ALL but Bonded is preferred.

Thanks for the pics and the log. We have this on our list of Summer cooks. The log will help since I'm used to using a Smokenator - not so much my SNS.
