 One of the reasons I "preheat" my Memphis to 300º then back it down to smoking temperature after it is loaded is, more smoke sooner..If I don't, it's just like Bent said, it takes a while .

In my picture above it was early afternoon. I started the cook at 5:15 AM. So like Bent & CJ mine takes a while too. But it was smoking like this about 4 hours in.

BTW - hers’s a picture before I put it in a pan & covered with foil. Internal in the thickest part was mid 160’s.

This picture was taken this AM about 3.5 hours into the cook.
Running at 190.

The hill looks pretty green, how long did it take after the blizzard to get to that condition?

We had a cool spring.  I think it was about a month.  Snowstorm was on 4/15/18.

Here is my Memphis Pro today.  I experimented and smoked pork belly(from frozen) at 250 for 6 hours with an ambient temp of about 70-75.  It was hard to capture the amount of smoke in a photo but here are a few.  It produced a consistent amount of low smoke which increased when the hood was open and pellets were dropping to make up for that.  I tested the Memphis probe with two Thermoworks probes and it seems to be pretty accurate.  I also have included my starting and finishing pellet supply in the hopper.  The pork belly has strips of fat that I cut off the fatty side and draped over the exposed meat on the bottom, so that's what looks weird.
