That seems like a long time for a small flat. I have to say I've dried out meat in the smokin-it more than I ever did in my cookshack. I did put a restrictor over the vent hole on my smokin-it which seemed to help. Seemed like there was too much airflow. I think there is a lot more trial and...
I have to say I've had more consistent results from my old Cookshack. I know all ovens cook a little differently. We just replaced our old wall oven/micro combo and the new one cooks way slower. I agree the meat is done when it's done, just difficult for me transitioning from what I've been...
I don't know what the wattage has to do with it when the temps are all the same. I did put restrictor on the vent hole on the smoker and meat doesn't dry out as much as it used to. I still find the times to be way off any recommended smoking times either from my experience, the smokin-it...
I had the same experience with a 16 pound Wagyu brisket. I put it on at 11 PM before I went to bed thinking it would be done in the afternoon and I could let it rest until dinner. I wrapped it in butcher paper at about 9 AM when the temp was in the 180's. Checked the temp at noon at it was...
