Post 2: 11:05 AM 3 Hrs Into Cook! The only anomaly so far is the Ambient Temp is running to Warm! Reading Off the

Post 4: 1:05 5 Hrs Into Cook. Changed the FB Ambient Temp Probe Location! Shook the Ashes Down and Closed the Upper Vent on the Kettle and Increased the Grill Temp on the DogiQ DX-2! The Pit Temp had Dropped!



Post 5: 2:05 6 Hrs Into Cook Well KMA FireBoard Saves The Day! Note the Pit Temp Drop on my last Post, Due to all
the KBB being Burned Up? I know I Had at Least 2 Briquets when I Started? Thanks to FireBoard I Woke Up out of
My Stupor! As Willie Sang "On The Road Again". From a Backyard Cremator in Fargo ND, Dan




3:05 Pm 7 Hrs Into Cook! I may Have to Switch from KBB Charcoal! It Seems to Be Burning to Fast? At least faster
than in the Past?

I really like the fact that you are charting the ambient temp. I know for the last two cooks you have noted that it is off a bit due to circumstances such as being too close to the pit, etc. Your posts are always helpful and insightful. Thanks.

[Danjohnston949]

Thank You Sir! I am Going to Go Out and Check on Things Shortly haven't checked since the Start! If I Find anything
obvious I will Let You Know! From a Backyard Cremator in Fargo ND, Dan

[Danjohnston949]

tbob4, I went out and Checked the Ambient Temp Probe #:1 and couldn't Tell what is causing the High Temp Reading? I move it so it is Now in
Clear Air and Not Touching Anything! I don't Know unless the Coiled Cable is Reading, doesn't seem likely?

Great post Dan. You've got me hungry for some pulled pork, so I may cook a butt this week! Resisting the FireBoard is getting harder.

[Danjohnston949]

Thank You Fuzzy! Resistance is Futile! See Above!

When I cooked last weekend my middle and top grates were within 5 degrees of each other and then all of the sudden I had a 100 degree spike in the top grate reading. I had both going through my door to the grates. Long story short - I threaded it through the chimney and immediately the readings went back to normal. Weird.

I am hoping FB and Local Wx will Get Closer with some Fooling Arround!

I like all the info you are getting, and the graphs are very interesting.

Dan, 18#s of butt? Are you expecting company or cooking enough to last through winter?

[Danjohnston949]

LA, I think I might have to Sit a Couple Meals Out Between Now and Spring!

I think the problems you ran into were because you didn't have enough gizmos involved.

[fuzzydaddy]

I've had folks comment on my probe wires (2 butts = 2; 1 air; 1 PartyQ air) along the lines of "you've got a critical patient in there?".

[Danjohnston949]

Histrix, You May Be Right! If the Geegahs get Crossed with the WhoDahs it Gets Complcated!

Boys, Thanks for following along Yesterday! I doubt You Learned Much other than to Start out With Enough Charcoals!
Also How Fast the FireBoard Pit Probe Temp reacted to the out of Coal Situations! Can Anyone Say Instantaneous?
