I cooked Meatheads pulled pork yesterday for family and I was expecting it to take around 6 hours so I fired up the smoker at 7:30am and had the meat on for 08:30 cooking at 225F-300F this is the first time I have used the fire box properly and I don’t have much of a gap to clear out the ash so when I was doing this the temperature kept shooting up if I had the lid of the firebox open my cooling chamber temp was dropping like a bowling ball.
I finally took took it off at 18:30 and had only gotten to a temperature of 163F so ended up slicing it instead still really food just disappointed i couldn’t pull it (Take that however you like
) I had two butts on with a combined weight of 7.5Ld any ideas what went wrong ?
It it seemed to stall at 136F for around an hour then slowly rose to 157F and seemed to sit there for a while and then was at 163F for around an hour and a half and then seemed to start reducing it dropped around 3/4 degrees before I took it off even though my grill temperature was still there.
