Just picked up my 590 yesterday and put it all together. Everything went as planned and I did the initial burn in as directed. No issues at all thanks to the help of this forum. Ran out of time to do my first cook last night so tonight we'll be enjoying chicken thighs.
Thinking ahead to the weekend, we've got about 10 friends coming over for a cookout. the menu consists of:
Pulled Pork
Pork Belly Burnt Ends
Smoked Mac and Cheese
Home made corn bread plus whatever everyone else brings.
Picked up a Pork shoulder from Costco yesterday thinking it was a two pack but now I think its just one large hunk of pork at 13.5 lbs. My initial plan was to eat around 5 ish on Saturday depending on how the cook goes. Wanted to pull the pork off around noonish, wrap and hold in cooler for about 4 hours. When I was thinking these were two pieces, I had planned to start them at 10:00 on Friday night but heck, now I have no idea. The Pork belly burnt ends should take about 4 hours so those would go on right after i pulled the shoulder off, not overly concerned about this cook time.
Not a complete newb to smoking and totally realize we cook to temp, not time but this one has me questioning my timing. On the WSM, I would probably be within about an hour of my time frames but not having cooked this long on the Rec Teq, I'm a bit skeered!
