First time trying this technique with the weber kettle
6 hours on a 7lb pork butt. The flavor was amazing! I may never go back to my vertical. Rubbed overnight in sweet mesquite Ran between 260 and 280 Mesquite wood Wrapped in paper at 168 and finished at 197

I don’t know but I thought you were to add coals that were already hot. (White from heat) I’m assuming you’re not using the Matchlight briquets that are soaked in fuel and adding directly to other coals.

6 hours for 7lb? What magic is this? I’m at hour 5 of a 4lb cook and it’s sitting at 150, between 250-300 all day.

What kind of vertical do you have? I’ve also noticed more smoke flavor when smoking in a kettle…

Couple of questions…
Why do you have your ambient probe that way round. If you flipped it 180 wouldn’t the readings side be closer to the meat and therefore a more accurate read? (Genuine question, I’m very new to grilling)
How do you stop you charcoal burning with smoke while it’s igniting when you do it like this?
I threw a few briquettes into my already white coals today and they started smoking a bit and I had to wait for a clean burn.

What brand ambient thermometer do you use

The probe in the butt reads internal and ambient, the corded probe i just threw in there to compare readings. Its placement was based on keeping it away from the direct head and still being able to close the lid lol
