Getting 2 more cooks on my G2's today and tomorrow. Today I have 6 Butts, 2 chickens, and 10lbs of quarters going on. Tomorrow will be 2 butts, 1 brisket and ribs, so kind of my first comp practice run.
I'll be updating as the cook goes along today.
Here is all the meat I got yesterday.
Butts and chicken getting ready to rub/brine
All the chicken is in the brine. Will probably put it on late afternoon.
Butts rubbed. I'm doing 2 in pans to get more juice and then 4 others on 1 rack to show the spacing in the G2 Party. All the butts were right around 9lbs. One was 9.5 and one was around 8.5.
Here are the 4 butts on one rack. So you can definitely get 4 decent sized butt on a rack
Here are all 6.
In term of temperature I want to run close to 275. I got it up to temp and putt the butts on at 11:45am. Now about 2 hrs later temp has dropped to 250 and has sat right there for a while so I have opened up both vents fully.
I lit it with 2 weber cubes in the back and am thinking about starting another one in the front right now to see if that helps to amp the temp back up. Just using KBB.
I bought a CyberQ II off a fellow Brethren to control both G2's, but am not going to use it for a while till I learn it on my own . I actually don't even have the BWS adapters and have purposefully held off so I'm not tempted :razz:.
