Hi everyone,
After consigning the old horizontal BBQ to the big skip in the sky I treated myself to a lovely new Weber, I managed to get a good deal on it so I spent the difference on a Maverick et-732! I got the grill going for a Pork Joint and a chicken. I put the Maverick probe in the Pork and set it for 205F as I quite fancied some pulled pork.
I used lumpwood and found the grill was quite erratic going from 190f to 300f but managed to keep it to an average of 250-270. The Maverick beeped at 205 after 5 hours. The chicken was perfect (could have probably pulled it sooner) but the pork was cooked but not falling apart. Still, I sliced the pork and it was really tasty so all is not lost!
I think that next time I will use briquettes and try to keep the temperature lower for a longer cook.
