Fathers Day ~ 1st time Smoking

[363]

my smoker was pretty good about staying at 225-230 but I did have it flair up to like 350 at one point and had a hard time getting it back down. I think I need to work out more of how much charcoal to use, how much wood and how much is too much. I got it up to 195, I had it in the smoker for 5-6 hours until I started to get a headache so I ended up wrapping it up in foil and sticking it in the oven for the last 35-40 degrees while I took a nap. I think it could have used more rub on it also it barely had any bark to it, it could also be that I finished it in the oven. I am def going to be trying it again in a few weeks
and maybe try charcoal to start and wood for the rest
