Well, I need to get comfortable with the new cooker. I've got Zero confidence, and only direction & testimony by some really great cooks.
I pledged lunch to my friends at Rucker Lumber. Afterall, they unloaded the Piglet last week, and delivered it with a fork truck to my garage. Real nice folks. So, they will have a pulled pork sannie and roasted corn luncheon on Friday. (Had to give myself the fark factor of a day). The packer is for my Trap team on Saturday, when we'll be shooting a 100 bird tournament.
So the best way to get confident, is to cook.
Thanks for the tips on getting things up to temp. Used Humphrey's Briquettes this time, and only lit the corner (front, right) closest to the vent. It was at 200F 40 minutes after dumping in the hot coals.
Shoulders were trimmed and seasoned first, then put on the middle shelf side-by-side. The packer was trimmed and seasoned, then put on the middle shelf.
I am going to check the temp one more time tonight, and go to bed around 11pm. Rising at 6am to get moving for work, and check things out. Wish me luck.
