;D I turned smoker down to 200* for the nite.

Just turned it back up.

More info after coffee (lots of coffee!)

CRG, that heat deflector geometry on the bottom rack with the fan beneath is just about the same as what I've been doing with a foil covered brick along the back edge on the same rack.  I also put a second foil covered brick in the front of the rack and lean it to the front edge of the rack.  With the fan it seems to create a sort of chimney for the heat moving up in the center.  I also put a large square foil covered paving stone on the top rack. Doing that on the 2nd and 3rd racks up from the bottom I can't detect much of a gradient front to back within the rack dimensions.  It works great for me.
I like animals, they taste good!

What I thought was going to be a quick smoke due to the early

high IT, turned out to be a marathon. The first butt came off at 24 1/2 hrs.



Second Butt took 25 1/2 hrs.



1st Brisket took 28 1/2 hrs!



2nd Brisket is getting close.

Had any sleep?

That was part of the problem. I turned it down to 200 and slept too long.

may have taken a while but it all looks real good.

I don't know what was in the butts, but this is the v-tray I traded out for a clean one this morning.



I even had one of these. ;D
