Did some other stuff in the yard and came back to see how things were going. DOH!! Needed a defibrillator. CLEAR!! Quickly fired up 10 or so briqs in the chimney and opened everything up. They should have been done in half an hour from now, but the fire was out for probably half an hour or so. I've never switched from low and slow to HH in one cook...I hope it turns out well.  |
Yeah, I have. It's part of the learning process brother and while the kettle smokers have a bit of a steeper learning curve than some other smokers, don't let it faze you, as while it is unfortunate, pork is a forgiving meat and the bricks will help to hold temperatures so things will probably be ok.
