Hello from Kure Japan
my first try made for a long day
Just got an Ironwood 650 setup and tried a 9 lb boneless Boston Butt as my first cook. Followed recommended guide on traeger site: grill temp 225, probe set to shutdown at 195. Started at 1pm. Temp reached 154 at 10pm so I filled hopper and went to bed. At 6am temp was at 174...far from 195. What to do? Took it off, stuck it in a crock pot on high for 4 hrs then it was done. I calibrated probe with ice water as recommended when I set grill up. Disappointing first time result not to mention 20lbs of pellets used over the 17 hrs.
Maybe better luck on next try...anyways really like the forum info.
