I have made many up to 10lb pork butts in my Acorn Jr. Always great! I put them on at like 1am @220 and let it go all night. Usually early morning I spray it with apple juice/apple cider vinegar mix. When it's 180 I spray heavily and wrap in foil till it's 200 internal. Then I put it still in foil wrapped in towels in a playmate to rest. It's still hot hours later when I serve it. A real crowd pleaser.
@ Cook For Your Wife, is that your backyard? Jesus, it's beautiful. By the way, I just ordered a Char-Griller Akorn Jr. today. I expect to receive it tomorrow. You've inspired me. I'm going to have to pick me up a port butt. :D
I was surprised that this little grill held temp thru the whole cook. I was checking it every half hour because I was nervous about it. This little grill can hold temp very well
I usually have it going in about 30 minutes. You do want to keep a eye on it because it can get away from you and really heat up. Depending on what I’m doing I start closing it up anywhere from 300 to 400 degrees. It’s much easier to bring the temp up then it is to bring temp down. I hope that helps.
Looks like a lot dirty smoke . Beautiful yard

Great video. But how long did it take to cook?

I might invest in one of them. It seems to be working great for your needs.
I love it it’s small but mighty. Does a great job
the 14.5inch weber smokey mountain is the best small smoker there is.
Thanks for the video, how much lump charcoal was needed?
Thank you for watching I used around two lbs give or take. But had quite a bit left. Ok he lump charcoal works so well
So you use wood chips instead of the chunks?
I use both what ever mood I am in. I had a cherry tree fall last year so I cut that up and use it as well. Thank you for watching
Looking good! It'll pull even better at 200*f
Thanks Kick ass vid!
Thank you for watching
Did it maintain a constant heat during the cook?

how long does it typically take to fire this thing up?
