Today was my first smoke with the #2. I had a shoulder in the freezer and thought I should try that out. I know that you all love the "lazy Q" mentality and let me tell you, I am in, hook, line, and sinker. OMG that was the easiest thing I have ever cooked. I started it at 6am, did a ramped temp climb (170 --> 225 after about 40 minutes). I used 3.5 ounces of hickory and 2 ounces of apple wood chunks. Not one issue with combustion (foil on 3/4 of the bottom of the smoke box, with chip grate on the top of that). Really glad I read about the stall because the temp sat in the 180's for about 2 hours. I trusted all the knowledge shared here and didn't touch it. Wrapped and into the cooler by 5:30.
Pulled and ate at 6:30 and let me tell you it was awesome. I have some work to do on my rub, but overall it was amazing. This was one of the best purchases I have made lately. Thanks for all the help!
