Full Fledged Farker
From time to time I mop my Pork Butts during Smoke Sessions on my DrumPit, you just have to plan for it, shut down your air intakes 5 minutes before mop time, lift that lid and get in there and out as quick as you can.
Leave air intakes shut down for another 5 minutes then open it back up to where you had it before and the temp spikes will be almost nonexistent.
maybe i will try that, we will see how things go. I have come to grips with things, if i don't get to mop it.
I have been planning on going fat cap down too, to help insulate from the heat. do you flip your meat any. I wasn't planning on it, due to opening the lid and the temp rising, but in the back of my mind i think maybe i should.
