Pulled pork attempt No.2

Postby Komi » 21 Sep 2013, 12:29

Did my first (boneless) pork shoulder a couple of weeks ago and it went like a dream, no issues with temps, kept it in the 225-250F range, and it came out perfectly. Great flavour and pulled really well.
Roll on today, had to crack into another bag of briquettes, am cooking on a 57cm Weber Kettle btw, I decided to use the snake method like the last time, briquettes 4 deep and hickory chips 3/4 of the way along the snake.
I'm using a Blue Therm Duo to monitor meat and grill temps, grill temps rose steadily if not slowly and stalled at 200F then started to drop, all vents fully open....don't panic....don't panic :shock:
Enough was enough, abandoned the snake and have the indirect dividers set up now, temps now in the 270 zone with vents fully open.
This is my second low and slow cook on the kettle, I can't believe the difference in the 2 cooks so far. The new bag of briquettes was the same make as the last bag, both kept side by side in my garage.

Anybody have this happen to them before? any suggestions appreciated.

Should really have put this in the beginners forum, can someone move this?
