Well it all started with a 10 hr trip to Alabama and back to Madison Ga with my buddy Tim. I purchased the pit from Deep South. Stopped by Dreamland to grab some ribs. (it helped) Got to Jerry's house and he was so happy to load the 2 ton smoker in the back of my truck. Jerry sent me many many pictures of the smoker and I also looked at the Stumps website and watched videos of the smoker. But seeing how big it is in person really caught me off guard. It literally filled up the back of my F-150. We finally got home around 9pm. As soon as we got home I lit a chimney of Stubbs then we unloaded the smoker. It only took about 1 hour to get up to 275. I let it go up to 325 then I loaded 10 butts on two racks. Once again I was surprised with how much room that I had. I put 67 lbs of Butts on 1 1/2 racks. It only took about 30 more minutes for the smoker to get back to 275 after I loaded it. I then hooked up the IQ 110. (Probe was placed in the middle of a empty bottom rack) It work ok at first but after 2 hrs the smoker was at 350. I figured that I did something wrong so I replaced the probe in a different location after about 2 hrs it shot up again to 350. So I took it off and set the Ball valve and I've had no problems since. Started the Stumps at 9pm and finished at 4pm. I used 20 lbs of Stubbs and 6 fist size chunks of Peach wood. (18 hrs on 20 lbs of fuel) Food turned out great. I've learned a few thing s in the last 24 hrs. Jerry (Deep South) is a stand up guy, the Stump Stretch is awesome, the Slam Latch is a must have (definitely a game changer) but the IQ110 is a piece of crap. Smoke on boys. Tell me what you think!!!
