Are you using a therm mounted in the side, or a probe sitting on a grate?
How close to the meat is it?
I put them on at about 7:15am. I finally went to bed for a few hours. It's now 1:30 and I just woke up and checked on it. It's at about 150* now. Mom said that at one point it got to 200*.
I havent checked the meat temps, but am about to and I will edit this post with that info.
The 2 grates are 6" apart and the temp probe is 3" below the top grate. The probe is clear of the grate.
I think that I am gonna pull the meat and put it in the...errrr...well.... ummmm.... oven...
EDIT: The temps are 138* and 139* on the two packers on the top rack at 1:50 PM.
