re: My 4th of July Smoke!! (PICS!!)

Man you really went all out, what an effort! Props on all that work and glad that your guests enjoyed it.

All in all. It was great! It's all gone and everyone that was here loved it. As for me. It was pretty good. But I think it was too dry. I left it on too long. I should have pulled it earlier or maybe not let it sit so long. But it had GREAT flavor. Controlling the temp this time was extremely easy compared to my first two smokes. This being my third. But I kept it at exactly 225 for I'd say 85% of the cook. The hottest it went was 240 but only briefly. Mostly it was 225-235 range.

Cooks should always be their harshest critics. Cool that you're open to learning and continuing to improve and don't just take compliments blindly as a blank check to stop trying. I would have put a severe hurt on that pork today.
