Smokin Monkey Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Once again, welcome to the Forum. Is this your first cook? If it is then do a burn to get rid of any manufacturing oils etc on the inside, do as you say but give it 1/2 before cooking. Have you mastered temperature control of it? If not I would try running it at 240’F/115’C for 1 hour before cooking, this way you will not waste any meat until you have mastered the basics, or if you want to cook something, cook a chicken as they are cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
