luvysbbq Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 hello, I'm fixing two more Boston butts for a family reunion. I had issues on my first cook, so took a little advice (set up like my UDS) and changed my setup. I did the volcano method by lighting one piece of lump in middle and cover up. I opened the bottom vent all the way and top vent on three until I Hit 150 degrees. At that point, I put the top vent on .8 and allowed only one bottom air hole to show. I also wrapped my lava stone in aluminum, used both grates, placing a half steam pan on the bottom grate with water and apple juice. So far, temp ran mostly at 255 and has now settled in at 266 for several hours. I'm five hours into the cook and it looks/smells great! I'll try to post a few pics later! Thank you all again for the much needed advice on the Kamado! Blessings, Mike philpom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeramicChef Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 luvy - looks like you're off to a really nice start! I'm moving this to the Showcase since it deals with a cook and does not discuss specifics of a Vision Kamado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokintarheel Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Nice work Mike. I'm really happy with my vision. Each time I use the Classic B it gets better and better. It's a rib and butt machine bar none! Enjoy your many experiences!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75tranzam Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 So how did the cook go? What did the reunion have to say about the BBQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
