Hey all,

I got a couple small pork roasts smoking right now.  The temp is fluctuating between 180-210.  It's about 50 degrees outside.  Is this alright?

I'd keep it more in the 205-210 range or your cooking time could be way off. 180 is a little cool for pork. You could even go a little higher then 210. Also depends on how big they are.

Yeah I have it set at 200 and It's fluctuating between 180-215.  Could it just be the ambient temperature?  It's about 50 degrees.

I'd crank it up...to say 225...low and slow is good but...225 is good for hot smoke. There are other people here that can tell ya more...but I usually do pork between 215 to 225...

I'll take that tip next time.  Took about 4 hours to get my pork up to an IT of 160.  FT'd it for 30 minutes.  I couldn't wait any longer though and I sliced off a piece.  It was damn delicious.  Melt in your mouth good.  I'll try to post pictures tomorrow.
