Looks like a good start to me. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Thanks...here's a shot 3 hrs in.
Temp holding steady at 225*. I saw it dip down to 221* for a few seconds earlier, but even the bluetooth temp probe I have monitoring at the warming rack level hasn't budged more than 5 degrees below when I check it!
Nice healthy flame when fan not running fast (flames appear when fan slows down), and pellets are glowing, and I can still see through the bottom row of holes in the burn pot, meaning no ash build up at this temp after 3 hrs. So far so good!
Meat probe for grill within 2 degrees of bluetooth meat probe (meat went on with internal temp of 44-46 degrees). Currently, at 138*. I think I will be wrapping soon.
Edit: forgot to add the pic!
